(67,190 posts)With overtime premium of time and a half for over 8 hours and Saturday and double time for Sunday that is about what it is. Depending on the shift it gets a little complicated because after any hours worked after midnight on Saturday are considered working on Sunday. So when we were started work at 7PM on Saturday to 7:30 AM when it was midnight we went from time and a half to double time because it was considered Sunday. Which it was. So we would get 7 hours of double time when we worked Saturday. But then we would go in on Sunday we would get 5 hours of double time and then after midnight that would revert to straight time until we had our 8 hours in and then it would go to time and a half after the first 8 hours. But we did not have a paid lunch. But we did get a 10% shift premium for working midnight shift and 5% for afternoon shift.
As I said it gets a little complicated.
