Section 1-5-28 - Shift differential

(a) Each agency having multi-shift operations shall designate one or more shifts as a normal day shift. Each agency shall specify no more than 12 consecutive hours in the day from which normal day shifts may be designated. Each normal day shift shall fall entirely within those designated hours.

(b) Except as provided in subsection (e), a shift differential shall be paid to classified employees in positions eligible to receive overtime pursuant to K.A.R. 1-5-24 for hours worked on regularly established shifts other than the normal day shift or shifts. The shift differential shall not be paid to an employee for any time the employee is on any type of leave or holiday or when the employee works unscheduled hours before or after a normal day shift.

(c) Upon recommendation of the secretary, the amount of the shift differential shall be that amount set by executive directive of the governor. The amount shall be recommended by the secretary after consideration of pay survey data and other appropriate and relevant factors, which shall be reviewed at least annually.

(d) With regard to particular classes of employees, or particular agencies, or employees located in particular geographic areas of the state, a recommendation to extend or deny the shift differential authorized by this regulation may be submitted by the director of personnel services to the secretary. This extension or denial shall be effective when approved by executive directive of the governor.
