Practice question: Night Shift Differential

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A covered private-sector employee works from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., with all four hours compensable. No more favorable night-window agreement applies. How many hours qualify for the statutory Article 86 differential?
  1. One, from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.
  2. Four, because any evening work qualifies.
  3. Three, starting at 8 p.m.
  4. None, because the shift ends before midnight.
  5. Two, starting at 9 p.m.
