What should I check in the CAO before planning night or weekend shifts?¶
Before scheduling night or weekend shifts, verify whether your CAO specifies additional pay allowances for hours worked between midnight and 06:00, on Saturdays or Sundays, or on public holidays. Also check whether there are restrictions on consecutive night shifts, mandatory recovery days after a run of nights, and how unsocial hours interact with the weekly maximum hours calculation. The Cruits offer form uses a 24-hour time format for shift configuration, so plan your time blocks to reflect the actual unsocial hours accurately. The resulting surcharge costs will apply on top of the CAO hourly rate that is already prefilled in the job posting.
