Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Shift work is common for almost any business that operates for 10 hours a day or longer. The reason for this is that employers don’t have the financial resources or they’re unwilling to pay employees overtime . As a result, they’ll split the workload into shifts that keep their workers below 40 hours a week.

Detailed explanation-2: -In general, it is 2 or 3 hours a shift but it varies depending on the industry you work in. Minimum working hours per shift vary across industries. You can find the minimum working hours for a shift in the applicable Australian award on the Fair Work Ombudsman website.
