shiftwork
Round-the-clock staffing
Shiftwork is employment organized around rotating or fixed time periods rather than standard business hours.
Workers take shifts—day, evening, night, or swing—to keep operations running continuously.
Common in hospitals, factories, and emergency services: Shiftwork takes a toll on your sleep schedule.
Also spelled as two words: shift work.
