We have an employee who is working on a modified basis 4 hours per day due to a workman compensation injury. The employee was switched from first shift to third shift in order to accommodate the injured employee 's abilities & the work needed by the company. Is a rate differential required by law due to the change from first to third shift? Thanks.

    There are no Federal laws requiring exra pay for second or third shift work. However, it is an accepted practice in many industries to pay a premium for second and third shift.

    Do you have an existing policy re pay differentials for shift work? If so, that should apply to this individual, even though he may be working on that shift only temporarily.
