There really isn't a standard. If you're looking for some benchmarks, you might want to try your local Chamber of Commerce or even the Labor Commissioner's website.
The bottom line for shift premiums is whatever it will take to get quality workers to work off shifts. At 10% you might get a flicker of interest; at 20% you might actually get some enthusiasm. Keep in mind that attracting workers to off shifts is one thing; retaining is quite another. Entry level off shift jobs typically experience a high rate of turnover, so your premium has to be significant.

Daily Q&A
How to Address Flagging Motivation?
How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
