overtime shift
Extra hours worked
An overtime shift is a work period beyond an employee's regular scheduled hours, typically compensating at a higher pay rate.
The phrase emphasizes the shift itself rather than just the extra hours: I picked up an overtime shift this weekend.
Workers may volunteer for overtime shifts or be required to take them depending on workplace policy.
