Unsocial hours pay is a question of fairness

Nurs Stand. 2015 Apr 29;29(35):3. doi: 10.7748/ns.29.35.3.s1.

Abstract

Should you be paid extra for working weekends? What about nights, or public holidays? Unsocial hours go with the job for most nurses, but the issue of whether and how staff should be rewarded is currently being scrutinised by the NHS Pay Review Body. In the past week there has also been a heated political discussion, as the parties vie for nurses' votes.
