What is Clopen?

Short for 'close-open' - when an employee works a closing shift and then returns the next day for an opening shift, resulting in minimal time off between shifts.

Understanding Clopen

Clopens are fatiguing and can impact employee wellbeing and job performance. Some jurisdictions have fair scheduling laws that require minimum rest periods between shifts or premium pay for clopens. Scheduling software can flag potential clopens to help managers avoid them.
