Night Work Supplement: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn if your late-night shifts qualify you for extra pay or time off under the official night work rules.
The Night Work Supplement is a benefit designed to compensate employees who perform their duties during late-night hours.
Who it's for
This is for employees who perform their work during the hours between 11pm and 6am.
What you get
Depending on your specific arrangement, you are entitled to either a pay premium or time credit. This means you receive extra money for your shift or extra time off to make up for the late hours worked.
What it costs you
There is no direct cost to you to access this benefit. The rules governing these compensations are managed under the Labor Act.
The catch to know
This supplement does not apply to every single late shift. It only applies if your permanent or temporary night work occurs with a certain level of frequency.
How to apply
- Check your employment contract to see how your night shifts are recorded.
- Verify if your specific schedule meets the required frequency for night work.
- Discuss the application of the supplement with your employer's payroll department.
