The first pre-shift for an opening shift should be delivered at what time?
- A.
10:45 am
- B.
11:00 am
- C.
10:30 am
Correct Answer
A. 10:45 amExplanation
The first pre-shift for an opening shift should be delivered at 10:45 am. This time allows enough time for employees to receive any updates or instructions before starting their shift at 11:00 am. Delivering the pre-shift at 10:30 am would be too early, as it may result in employees forgetting important information by the time they start their shift. Delivering it at 11:00 am would be too late, as employees would not have enough time to review the information before beginning their shift. Therefore, 10:45 am is the most appropriate time.Rate this question:

- C.

Correct Answer
A. 4:30 pmExplanation
The first pre-shift for a closing shift should be delivered at 4:30 pm. This is because it allows enough time for the employees to receive the necessary instructions and information before starting their shift. Starting the pre-shift at 5:15 pm would be too late as it would cut into the actual shift time, and starting at 5:00 pm would not provide enough time for proper communication and preparation. Therefore, 4:30 pm is the most appropriate time for the first pre-shift for a closing shift.Rate this question:
