Hi there
My experience has been:
1. You may not even by agreement, use sunday hours worked in lieu of
time off
2. If they agree to it now, you can bet on it in a few months (years
time) this arrangement will not suite all any more and you will have
major problems on hand.
3. If your contract of employment states sunday is part of normal
working hours and once that has been worked (40 hours eg) then the rest
of the hours will be considered as overtime and paid at the applicable
rate - Then you can defer the Sunday higher rate. If it is not in your
employment contract you would have to re-negotiate that as a condidtion
of employment. - Depending on the size of your workforce, it would
probably not be worth the effort.
Good luck

Hi
We are changing from a 2 to a 3 shift system.
The employees have requested that the shift week begins on Sunday
afternoon, so that it can end on Friday, as opposed to Saturday.
They are prepared to contract out of an entitlement to Sunday pay as
this is at their request, but I am not sure if this is legal.
Any thoughts on the matter?
