A clopening shift is when an employee closes shop and returns hours later to perform opening duties. These shifts are most commonly an issue in retail and service industries with hourly employees.

In addition to requiring one day off for every consecutive seven-day period, the Act also requires a minimum 20-minute meal break if you work at least 7.5 hours a day (which has to be given within the first 5 hours of the shift).
