I'm not working in the industry myself but rolling shifts are somewhat normal in big manufacturing companies. But if you do let your employees work for nights or weekends then they usually have to get paid premiums (simplified:25-40% more for night shifts, more for sundays and holidays).

> 25-40% more for night shifts, more for sundays and holidays I see. So (assuming you're speaking from Germany) is this the reason why e.g. 24-hour supermarkets and convenience stores don't generally exist, but factories do? i.e. supermarkets would not be profitable to have night shifts with those massive overtime figures, but factories remain profitable despite that?

  > 24-hour supermarkets and convenience stores Different states have different laws regulating store opening times, these are independent of labour law. Here's the overview of the different times for the states https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laden%C3%B6ffnungszeit#%C3%9Cbersicht https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laden%C3%B6ffnungszeit#%C3%9Cb...
