Overview

Employees who work odd hours are often entitled to a shift premium (also referred to as shift differential). This premium is common in 24-hour operations where employees work late at night or early in the morning. For example, an employee might be entitled to receive an additional 25 cents per hour for every hour worked during a certain time frame.

Sometimes the work detail record is updated to include the rate, time code, and hour type of the shift premium. More commonly, the application creates work premium records to represent the shift premium.
