Pricing Night Work

[jameshs22]

Hi guys. Anyone have experience pricing up night shift work? I've been asked to quote on some road closures work that has to be done out of hours. 

I want to be competitive but not undersell myself. Is time and a half too cheep?? Or is double time too expensive??

I'll be providing all the kit, chipper, ect ect

Not a clue but all I ever hear is of the lads saying they are on good brass due to working at night.... they dont want to be day walker / day workers no more.... Vampires lol

I think it’s got to be double time. You can’t work (safely) the following day, and legally you should have 11 hours between a night shift and working the following day.
 

To my mind you need to be well enough paid to offset the fact you probably won’t be earning the next day. Plus after a few nights you feel like a zombie

So charge what you would for a 3/4 days ?.

 

Double pay is 2 days, plus 1 for recovery, plus the cost of the road stuff.

Nights for us is double time plus a day off paid
