The allowance is 10% on each hourly salary of the entire night shift, including the hours before 00.00 and after 06.00. If your employer already pays a compensation for night shifts or a night allowance, it remains valid. If your employer pays more than a 10% compensation, nothing changes. If your employer pays less than a 10% compensation or night allowance, this will be increased to a 10% night allowance.
