Night Allowance

Hi Folks,
I work in a company which is in IT infrastructure management & IT products & service delivery. As there are many clients who require our services(wherein we put our manpower as RE or Sys Admin) for 24*7 environment, apart from regular compensation , we have decided to pay night allowances to the employees. Industry wise there are different players providing different pay slabs as night allowance. So can anyone please suggest what is the standard night allowance paid for entry to sr executive level.





Please hurry as its very urgent.





Regards

Raul.

Hi Raul,
I too work in an organization that has two shifts as we are a BPO catering as a US as back offcie services for health care providers. I feel more than an alllowance itself , you could give more fringe benifts to those who work at night. Some of the examples we are looking at are to provide.
1) Unlimited tea and coffe
2) Apart from the dinner that we provide an additional health snack e.g. Banana, crakers
Just a thought. but you could also look at the same situation with an overtime Calculation. 1.5 times the hourly rate.
Hope this informations was useful.
Thanks
Sue

Hi Raul,
There are no specific standards for night allowance for IT/ITES companies. If possible WFH could be encouraged. It is just left unto the Management to decide on that.
But 10% hike in the salary would be motivating apart from
(i) pick-up & Drop at doorstep
(ii) Snacks, refreshment on the desk
(iii) Avoiding Rotational Shifts
(iv) No slogging after the office hours (allotted time)
(v) Few motivating/refreshing games on the floor ( as required )
(vi) Availability of a supporting staff (HR) on the floor atleast once in a week along with the Head of the Division (once in a week)
