Adrian 48 hours is 1A. 49 to 56 hours is 2A.
So using the same calculation as you did 32 hours at standard rate (0.8
of basic salary) and 16 hours at the enhanced rate (1.5 -0.8 times basic
salary) give a theoretical antisocial hours rate of 175per cent.

Aren't you describing a 2A post, Andrew, in which case the SHO will
attract
a salary 1.8 times greater than basic? This works out at a 400% hike in
hourly rate for the additional 8 hours worked, from a purely
mathematical
viewpoint! Of course, as you rightly point out, they will typically be
working for at least 16 of those 48 hours "antisocially" and, by
corollary,
32 hours "socially". So, assuming they get basic salary for those
"social"
32 hours, then they will indeed actually receive 2.5 times their
standard
salary for each of the additional 16 hours that they work; not bad
going!
And you mustn't discount that they'll have 8 hours free during office
hours,
which in many ways is just as pleasant - and often more useful - as
having
similar time free out-of-hours.
