Split shift

Split shift

Split shift, is an employment schedule, a type of Shift work where a person's normal work day is split in to 2 or more segments, for example a person may work from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and then have a break until 3 p.m. at which point they might return to work until 7 p.m.. This is especially common for public transport employees where it is advantageous to have additional staff working during traditional rush hour times and for bar staff who would work at lunch and during the evening. It is generally not a desired shift since one is basically tied to work all day, and your time in between shifts can be taken up by getting to and from work.
