An overnight shift refers to a work schedule that begins in the evening and typically extends into the early morning hours. This type of shift can be set up in a variety of ways to accommodate different work environments and employee needs.

The overnight shift mode is controlled by the overnight setting — a setting that allows an employee to remain clocked in to the application after midnight. This precludes forced clock-out in the mobile application where an employee tracks their worked hours.

Overnight can be configured in several ways.

Mobile Role — Allow Overnight Allows 

Assign the Mobile. Allow Overnight Allows role to an employee to generally allow night work. For example, is there is no overnight dispatch scheduling.
