Third shift which commences any time at/or after 8 p.m. or before 4 a.m. Payment will include an increase of $.35 per hour in addition to the base hourly rate. (Note: The shift payment rate for the entire shift is determined by the beginning time of the shift.)

Weekend shift which occurs when a staff member works on Saturday or Sunday as part of his/her base work hours. Payment will include a weekend differential of $.25 per hour in addition to the base hourly rate. Second or third shift differentials as outlined above will also be paid when applicable. (Note: Weekend work hours are defined as Friday midnight through Sunday midnight.)
