Night Shift Allowance for Industrial Employees





NIGHT DUTY ALLOWANCE (NDA) & NIGHT SHIFT BONUS (NSB)



Night Duty Allowance :


Workers are entitled to get Night Duty Allowance @ 10 minutes for each hour of work done between 22.00 hrs. to 06.00 hrs.

In the night shift. The prescribed hourly rate for NightDuty Allowance is

(Pay + DA + CCA) / 200.

(For Night duty performed between 2200 hrs and 0600 hrs Calculated on the basis of Weightage.

Weightage is given as 10 minutes for every 1 hr of night duty

While calculating number of hours of Night Duty, than 30 minutes.....

rounded of to 1 hour.

Less than 30 minutes.....ignored.)



NDA is calculated on the Weightage with a specific Rate. This Rate is determined by the Govt. from time to time

Example:

An Industrial Employee is working in Night Shift between 22.00 hrs & 07.00 hrs.

The total working hours will be 9.00 hrs. But Night Duty Hours calculate from 2200 to 600 only, Night Duty hrs is 7 hrs.

Weightage is 7 x 10 = 70mts

Note : Night Duty hrs does not include * Recess time *



Shift leave * performed during Night duty hours.

The prescribed hourly rate for (rate calculated asper the formula) For one hour = (BasicPay + DA ) / 200.



(Railway Employees are getting modified rate But, still Ordnance Employees are getting as per the V th pay commission pay scale)



Night Shift Bonus

PWs who perform night shift are paid an extra 1/2hr pay called Night Shift Bonus.

The hourly rate is.... 1/200 of the total of Basic pay, DA (But, still getting as per the IV th pay commission pay scale)
