Shift work refers to employment practices where employees work outside the traditional 9-to-5 schedule, including night shifts, rotating shifts, or weekend work.
This type of work arrangement is common in industries like healthcare, retail, and manufacturing where operations must continue around the clock.
For example, a hospital may require nurses to work night shifts to ensure patient care is available at all times. Shift work can offer flexibility but may also present challenges related to sleep patterns and personal life balance.
