unsociable hours working?
Submitted by ScoWorker on Sat, 21/08/2010 - 18:06
I was reading a PDF document by USDAW
and it stated that times after 8pm are considered unsociable hours
My shift is 7pm till 10pm meaning 2 of my hours are unsociable
which is over the "50 : 50 rule"
would that mean, I should be paid 1.3x minimum my hourly wage?
I also worked
9pm until 1am last week (wednesday.)
and only got 1 hour at 1.3x
(i only work little hours as I am 17 in college, so dont have time to work fulltime with fulltime college.)
It doesn't particularly bother me, I am just wondering.



I believe your first
I believe your first paragraph is correct.
However I am not aware of any legislation which requires employers to increase the hourly rate in the specific circumstances you describe.
