Define shift patterns
Set up your BPO shifts (8AM-5PM, 10PM-7AM, etc.). WORKSPHR detects which shifts overlap the night-diff zone (10PM-6AM).
Night Differential
Night differential pay, auto-computed for BPO.
What is night differential pay?
Per Labor Code Article 86, every employee working between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM is entitled to additional compensation of not less than 10% of their regular wage for each hour of night work.
Per Labor Code Article 86, employees working between 10PM-6AM earn 10% night differential. WORKSPHR auto-computes night-diff, OT, rest day, and holiday premiums for every Philippine BPO and shift-based business.
BPO industry-specific risk
Philippine BPO operations run 24/7. Manual night-differential computation across multiple shift patterns is error-prone, leading to DOLE money claims and back-wages exposure that compounds over years.

Every feature shipped is reviewed by a Filipino HR practitioner first. Built natively for PH compliance, not adapted from foreign systems.
Hours between 10PM-6AM get auto-applied 10% night differential per Labor Code Article 86. WORKSPHR detects shift overlap with night zone precisely.
- 10PM-6AM zone detection
- 10% premium per Labor Code
- Partial-hour computation
- Per-employee + per-shift rates
How it works.
2
Assign employees to schedules
Drag employees into rotating schedules. Multi-shift patterns supported. Schedule changes mid-cycle handled with audit log.
3
Auto-compute every cycle
Each cycle, WORKSPHR computes regular pay + night-diff + OT + rest day + holiday, all stacked correctly. No manual computation.
What is the night differential rate in the Philippines?
Per Labor Code Article 86, every employee working between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM is entitled to not less than 10% of their regular wage for each hour worked during the night zone.Does night differential stack with overtime?
Yes, night-diff stacks with overtime. Example: a regular 10PM-6AM shift earns 110% (regular + 10% night-diff). Overtime hours within that zone earn 110% × 125% = 137.5%.How does WORKSPHR detect night-diff hours?
WORKSPHR analyzes each clock-in/out event against the 10PM-6AM zone with minute-level precision. Even partial hours within the zone (e.g. shift starts 9:45 PM) get the night-diff portion correctly.What about rest day on a night shift?
Rest day pay = 130% of regular. If on a rest day in the night zone: 130% (rest day) + 10% (night-diff) = 140%. Rest day OT in night zone = 169% × 1.10 = 185.9%. WORKSPHR computes all stacks automatically.Is night differential mandatory for all employees?
Yes for rank-and-file. Managers, field personnel, and family members are exempted per Article 82. WORKSPHR distinguishes employee classifications correctly.How does this work for BPO 24/7 operations?
WORKSPHR is built for 24/7 BPO ops. Multi-shift schedules (8-hr / 12-hr / 24-hr), rotating shift patterns, and shift-swap workflows are first-class features. See WORKSPHR for BPO →Does Sunday work get night differential?
Yes, Sunday is a typical rest day. Working in the night zone on a Sunday gets rest day pay (130%) + night-diff (10%) = 140%. If overtime on Sunday in night zone: 169% × 1.10 = 185.9%.What if my company gives more than 10%?
Some BPOs offer 15-25% night-diff premium per CBA or company policy. WORKSPHR handles custom percentages per role/department. The 10% is the legal minimum; you can exceed it.
