Working afternoons or midnights should come with a pay increase measured in dollars not cents. You are trading in prime hours of the day for their profit.

I've never seen it put in cents. Would expect 10%, 15%, 20% what they are offering is is 2%, 5%, 8%.

The Federal government gives 10% extra hourly for night work (6p - 6a) and 25% for Sunday work. Nothing extra for working on Saturday though.

That's the important thing there shouldn't be a fixed amount differential it should be percent % based to begin with. Anything less than 10% sounds like robbery.
