iltavuorolle

iltavuorolle is a Finnish term that translates to "evening shift" or "afternoon shift" in English. It refers to a work schedule where an employee is assigned to work during the latter part of the day and into the evening. This contrasts with a morning shift (aamuvuoro) or a night shift (yövuoro).

The specific hours covered by an iltavuoro can vary significantly depending on the industry and employer. Typically, it might start in the early afternoon, around 2 PM or 3 PM, and conclude in the late evening, perhaps around 10 PM or 11 PM. Some iltavuoro shifts might extend even later. This type of shift is common in sectors like retail, hospitality, healthcare, and manufacturing, where continuous operation or extended customer service hours are required.

Working an iltavuoro can offer certain advantages, such as allowing for personal activities or appointments in the morning, or providing a different work-life balance compared to traditional daytime working hours. However, it can also present challenges, including potential disruptions to social life, family routines, and sleep patterns due to working later hours. The term is a fundamental concept in understanding Finnish work culture and scheduling practices.
