Harry Monk:
I don’t think anybody gets proper premium rates for weekend or night working nowadays. When I started work in 1976, time-and-a-half on Saturdays and sixth days and double time on Sundays was fairly standard in most types of work. Now it might be a pound or two more but that seems to be all. I guess it’s all to do with the way weekends have changed in the public perception.
Where I work, its time and half weekends and anything over 40 hours, BH is x 1.75, and weekends over 8 hours is x 1.75
far better than agency
