swing shift

English to Spanish Other Education / Pedagogy Curso de formación para empleados de un restaurante
El término aparece en los tipos de turnos. No sé muy bien cómo traducirlo. Entiendo que PM shift es "turno de tarde" y "AM shift" es turno de mañana. ¿Podría ser "turno de mediodía"? Sé que el término ha sido traducido en las preguntas como "turno de tarde", pero entonces "PM shift" ya no me cuadra. Este es el contexto en el que aparece:

2 PM shifts, 1 Swing shift, 1 AM shift, 1 Stock shift, 1 Restaurant Meeting, 1 Area Meeting (if scheduled)

Muchas gracias por adelantado

turno de media tarde a media noche

Creo que sería bueno que solicitaras que te aclararan el horario del swing shift porque, por ejemplo, en los hospitales así le llaman cuando trabajan un período en el turno de día y otro en el turno de noche.
