As someone who has never worked shifts or had to understand a shift workers payslip us there anyone that can very simply explain something to me? I know the basic salary is 34697, but I've seen people saying this isnt what you earn with Sundays. How much extra are sundays? How does sunday working work? Obviously I'm not thinking about overtime it's just the sundays part.
If you take a simple four weekly 8hr rotating roster with 12hr Sunday’s. Your 35hr Monday to Saturday working week will averaged out over multiples of this roster until the hours balance out (16 weeks I believe). Now the railway doesn’t shut down on Sunday's so the Sunday turns that needed to be worked will be shown on the base roster, this case 2 per 4 week cycle and as they are on the base roster you have to work them (compulsory overtime). Should one of your colleagues want their booked roster Sunday off, then it will offered to their colleagues as voluntary overtime.
Your basic pay is your salary for Monday to Saturday plus your rostered Sunday’s plus your night shift supplement plus London allowance or half London allowance if your qualify for it.
The Sunday part Saturday night into Sunday morning gives you a + half hour pay per hour extra but the Saturday part is part of your basic 35hr salary
The Monday part of Sunday night into Monday paid at time + quarter.
The Sunday rate of pay is time + half of your basic hourly rate regardless whether it compulsory or voluntary.
Rest day worked (Monday to Saturday) is time + quarter.
Overtime ie working an extra 4hrs before or after your normal 8hrs is paid at just (basic) time.
