full shift

Entire scheduled hours

A full shift is a complete standard work period, typically eight hours, as opposed to a partial or abbreviated one: She worked a full shift despite feeling unwell.

The phrase emphasizes that someone put in the entire expected time rather than leaving early or arriving late.
