closing shift
Last work period
The closing shift is the last work period of the day, typically ending when a business shuts its doors.
Workers on the closing shift handle end-of-day tasks: locking up, counting registers, cleaning, restocking.
I'm on closing shift tonight, so I won't be home until after midnight.
The term is standard in retail, food service, and other businesses with extended hours.
