I work nightshift in a petrol filling station & I'm paid £5.75 p/h. When the minimum (MW) went up at the beginning of October the staff who work dayshift in my company seen their wages rise from £5.05 - £5.35 (nothing wrong you might think, if they didn't increase it would be illegal due to rise in MW)
Does anyone know though (not just morally but hopefully LEGALLY) can an employer increase the wages of staff on one shift BUT not on another. The staff where I work nights do seem to do most work as well as not having the intangible benefits of sleeping nights & seeing children, yet for the miserly 40p per hour extra it hardly seems worth it (was previously 70p per hour more and while NOT a lot it's better than now)
If anyone has any advice I would be extremely grateful as I am seriously considering calling it a day on the job and I really don't want to as it will difficult to say the least, as it's close to christmas.
Am I just whining or do I have a valid point for grievance Pls help
