Policy
Shift differential is a cents-per-hour amount added to the base pay hourly rate for work performed on certain evening shifts. The decision for departments to pay shift differential is based on the nature of the work and industry standard for that particular department. Any department that wishes to develop and use a shift differential program should request the assistance of their OE Consultant or the Compensation Manager to establish practices that are consistent across the University.
Procedures
In those departments choosing to pay shift differential, staff employees scheduled to work at least six (6) consecutive hours starting no earlier than 2:00 p.m. and no later than 2:00 a.m. receive shift differential.
Shift differential is paid only for hours worked and is not included in the calculation of paid time off.
