Calculating Shift Allowance Earnings
Two earnings for shift allowances are paid once per month to compensate employees who work overnight. Like overtime, there is an earning element to pay a fixed amount (SHNTFIX) and another to pay 130 percent of the hourly rate (SHNT1.3). This section discusses how to:

Rate is a fixed numeric value of 100 HKD.
The SHNT1.3 calculation rule is Unit × Rate × Percent:
Unit is the number of overnight shifts that the payee worked.
Rate is the system variable HOURLY RT.
