2. Shifts starting between 1800 hours and 0600 hours the next day shall carry a premium of seventy-five cents ($.75) per hour.
3. Shifts in which more than fifty per cent (50%) of the time worked falls on Saturday shall carry a premium of fifty-five cents ($.55) per hour.

Shift premiums shall not apply where the time worked is paid at the overtime rate.
