over a 24h period Explanation: Very few examples on Internet and my only objection to the am pm boundary suggestion is that if you start a shift at 11h55 and work just ten minutes to 12h05, you have effectively gone over the am pm boundary And I don't think this is what is meant so I'm giving an alternative where by definition, you MUST go over the am-pm boundary and you clearly work more than 24 hours |

extending past midnight Explanation: Given the concept of "the midnight shift" I'd instinctively be inclined to incorporate "midnight" into the answer. Questions on the web regarding the logistics of planning work shifts that cover multiple days also appear to refer to midnight - see Google for examples on how to handle shifts extending past midnight/crossing over midnight/passing through midnight as well as advice on how to count time after midnight, etc. From link below: In that case, the court looked to the plain language of California Labor Code section 510(a), which states that “[e]ight hours of labor constitutes a day’s work,” and determined that the employer’s definition of a workday impermissibly split shifts which extended past midnight.
