Shift Differential Pay!

For those of you here who work the graveyard shifts, do you get shift differential pay? If so, how much? Is it a flat amount or a percentage of your hourly rate (if not salaried)? I think my company doesn't pay enough, and I'd like to see how it compares to other places. At my company, shift diff is only .50 per hour extra but it seems to me, I've seen shift diffs as high as 15% elsewhere. But .50/hr isn't even 2% for most folks here.

In short... just looking for a sampling of shift diff pay amounts, so I can lobby for an increase!
 
I go in at 10PM and leave whenever my work is done and get 75 cents shift differential. It used to be 25, but they changed our shifts/duties around and changed the shift diff at the same time.
 
We finally started getting a shift differential. 5%, 12 hour nights 7:30pm-7:30am for me.
 
Depending on which contract in in place on a job, there are a couple of ways shift premium could be paid. On some jobs, (say 3 shifts/day) swing shift gets 8 hrs pay for 7-1/2 hrs work, (baiscally, you get paid for your lunch) and graveyard gets 8 hrs pay for 7 hrs work AND gets paid for lunch. On other jobs, 2nd shift gets a 15% pay differential for all hours worked, and still other contracts have BOTH the workd less hours AND shift differential. This is usually what the folks you see on Cal-Trans jobs in the night are getting. Next, there's tide work, where your hours are determined by the rising/falling tides, (which much of my work was) then there are special provisions for those hours worked before or after your regular starting time, (for me, it was always a minimum of time and a half, and usually double time) even if you don't work more than 8 hrs in that shift.
 
10% for second shift, 15% for third shift for both hourly and salary people if that is their designated shift.
 
Wal*Mart pays an extra $1 per hour for working third shift (11pm - 7:30am).

Also you get an extra $1/hr for working on Sunday.
 
For my Locum Tenens work, I get about a 20%-30% bonus for night/weekends/holidays, works out to about $50/hr 🙂
