first shift

Early work hours

First shift is the earliest of the standard work periods in businesses that operate around the clock, typically running from early morning to mid-afternoon—roughly 7 AM to 3 PM or 8 AM to 4 PM.

Also called day shift, it's generally the most desirable schedule since it aligns with normal waking hours: She transferred to first shift after years of working nights.
