Many organisations require workers to come in at different times, to fill different roles. Enabling organisations to operate for extended periods outside normal working hours, shift working has its own set of challenges, both for employers and for employees working such patterns.
In British Airways plc v Noble and another [2006] IRLR 533 CA, the Court of Appeal has held that a reduction of 4/52 in employees' shift pay, spread evenly throughout the year, is not a breach of the Working Time Regulations 1998.
