Detailed explanation-1: -It mentions that the employer can take actual work on any day upto 9 hours in a 12 hours shift.
Detailed explanation-2: -12 Hour Shift means a shift of 12 hours’ duration, with ordinary hours worked 7:00am to 7:00pm on a day shift or 7:00pm to 7:00am on a night shift, or as agreed. The 12 hours may be extended to include shift changeover time if required and agreed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fewer consecutive days worked. Workers on 12-hour shifts never work more than two days in a row, reducing problems of stress and cumulative fatigue.
Detailed explanation-4: -A 12 hour rotating shift might work like this. For three days you work 12 hours during the day, have two days off; work 12 hours on nights for 4 days, have 3 days off; work 12 hours on days for 3 days etc.
Detailed explanation-5: -Research doesn’t provide a clear winner between 8 and 12 hour shifts. Both have positive impacts on ones physical health, work / life balance and productivity. The best shift timing comes down to a business’ individual needs, the abilities and availability of the workforce and ultimately, true “buy-in” from employees.
