If you have worked during a shift or shifted hours of work, you may be paid an adjustment allowance if:

  • your allowance exceeds 5% of your individual job salary and ceases; or
  • if your allowance decreases by more than 5% of your individual job salary due to a company reorganisation or your being found to be medically unfit for work.


The adjustment allowance in case of reduction of your allowance by more than 5% will only apply to the extent that the decrease is not due to a replacement of cash compensation with compensation in time. No adjustment allowance is payable to you if the lower allowance is due to the shifting of (part of) the allowance to (additional) compensation in time off in your shift work timetable. Neither is this allowance payable if your allowance decreases when you work in timetables covering a period of less than three months.

The adjustment allowance is calculated in accordance with the following table and once it has been granted it will be adjusted along with the general income adjustments in the CLA.
