dayman

Daytime shift employee

A dayman is a worker employed during daylight hours, as opposed to night shift workers.

The term appears in historical contexts for laborers paid by the day rather than by longer contracts.

In maritime use, a dayman works regular daytime hours aboard ship, distinct from those standing watches: The daymen handled maintenance while the watch crew sailed.
