I am a status one employee. My store manager always changes the schedules, and she put me on three nights next week. Is a 10 to 6pm still considered a night shift, and is it still over time if you have to work three of them in a week?

I am a department head, and a former manager used to make us work two 'nights' per week, if our secret shop went badly. He couldn't work us more than two. Another long timer department head tells me that its considered a night..and they can't make us do more than two, without having to give us time and a half.
I meant 10 am until 6pm.
Per contract, I have been under the impression that dept heads must work a night, and can work two, if necessary. Back ups can be made to work three.
Will be checking with my union rep today about that.
I've heard that it must be at least 11-7 to be considered a night, but i could be wrong.
It depends on the contract where the OP is.  Upon accepting our last contract, I heard several old timers complaining about having to work late shifts. "Graveyard" shift to them. They have been there long enough, they think they should have the early morning shifts. What our contract stated is that the Department managers had to work one late shift a week. Our department heads work from 12 noon until 830pm on that scheduled day. Mine uses it to change ends and write the next schedule.
I like night shift and a real night shift is from 10pm until 630 am. I think Eschedule expects night shift to start at midnight. In our contract, hours worked from midnight until 5am are considered for the night premium If most of the hours for the week are worked within those times, then all the hours are paid with the premium.
The only OT pay the old timers get on our contract is they can choose to work Sunday for sixth day pay. They can't be denied 8 hours of OT each week. I have never heard about getting OT for working several late shifts during a week.
Don't have to set up... get others to do it. Don't have to close and clean, have people for that too.. and just early enough to catch the order when I come in before it goes off. I get to be a glorified stocker who makes signs and writes orders for 20 bucks an hour.
Ok so I actually did a schedule today for the first time, and the deli manager tells me that 10-6 is NOT considered a night shift, but anything later than that (like 11-7) is. This is for Cincy/Dayton division UCFW 75 contract. And yes if you work more than 2 nights in the week, it is considered overtime. It actually does flag that on myEschedule if you try giving yourself 3 nights.

In ATL UCFW 1996 you can give yourself all nights forever and it's not OT if you stay within 40 hours for the week and no single shift goes beyond 9 hours. Hours after 6pm are supposed to rotate among full time but that's not how I've seen it done by some dept heads. I had one tell me she didn't care what my schedule said, I should work exactly the same closing time every day. ATL division has no penalties in contract for shifts scheduled too close together, hours not rotating, working nine days straight or anything that would make your life less than hell. The company will just say "needs of the business" and and union will move on.

That's odd. In the Louisville division, only people who became full time before a certain date(1987-1990) are limited in how many nights they can work before overtime kicks in. Some can work three nights. Others can only work two.
