Kolmivuoritteisiin

Kolmivuoritteisiin refers to a Finnish term describing a type of work schedule that involves three shifts. This work arrangement typically divides the 24-hour day into three eight-hour periods, with different groups of employees working during each period. The purpose of a three-shift system is to ensure continuous operation of a facility or service, often found in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and emergency services.

The shifts are commonly referred to as the morning shift, the afternoon/evening shift, and the night shift. Each shift has a designated start and end time, and employees rotate through these shifts or are assigned to a specific one. This system allows businesses to operate around the clock without necessarily requiring individual employees to work excessively long hours.

Implementing a kolmivuoritteisiin system requires careful planning regarding shift handover, employee well-being, and potential disruptions caused by working non-standard hours. Factors such as fatigue, social life impact, and compensation for night work are important considerations for both employers and employees. The specific implementation can vary based on the industry, company policy, and collective bargaining agreements.
