During what times does the night differential for COSS apply?

The night differential for the Customs and Border Protection (COSS) applies during the period defined in choice C, which is from 1800 to 0600. This time frame is recognized as encompassing the typical night shift hours, ensuring that employees who work during these hours are compensated at a higher rate due to the nature of night work.

Night differential pay is established to acknowledge the challenges and potential hazards that come with working during these nighttime hours. This period allows the agency to incentivize staff to cover shifts that may not be as desirable due to irregular hours. By aligning the night differential with the hours indicated in choice C, the Border Patrol can effectively support its workforce's needs while maintaining operational readiness during less conventional hours.
