The midnight to 8:00 AM shift is known as the night shift in the economy. Generally, these hours are used for leisure by the workers and when they are mandated to work at these 8 hours, they have to substitute work for their leisure hours. Thus, the hourly wage rate provided would tend to be higher during these hours. Thus, it increases the hourly wages of the workers.
