How It Works
Shift differentials are extra pay for working less desirable hours — typically evening (5-10% premium), night (10-15%), and weekend shifts (10-20%). While not required by federal law, they are common in healthcare, manufacturing, and hospitality. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 7% of full-time workers receive shift differentials averaging $1-$3/hour above base pay.
