Night work: the hours that attract the night premium
Frequently written as 22:00 to 05:00, which drops an hour of premium pay every night worked. It is stated directly in the statute rather than derived, so a guide that gets it wrong is not interpreting anything — it is simply wrong, and the error compounds across a roster.

What we have recorded
- 2026-09-2022:00 to 06:00
Work performed between 22:00 and 06:00 the following day attracts a premium of at least 50% of ordinary wage, in addition to any premium for extended or holiday work. Eight hours wide, ending at 06:00 and not 05:00.
