what does third shift mean?
If you've ever had to work the third shift, frequently known as the midnight shift or the graveyard shift, you probably already know that most of the work hours are non-daylight hours. There's not an exact time frame that identifies a third shift, but it usually entails working just before midnight until mid-morning. Most businesses that employ a third shift of workers are open 24 hours a day and frequently schedule employees to rotate between shifts.
