I am looking for a day shift job.

I want to work day or night shift.

I want to work both shifts.

He has working day shift for six years.

Do you want to work night shift.

My parents do not want me to work night shifts but they are OK if I do day shift.

I want to work rotational shifts.

I want to do rotational shifts.

At XYZ company you have work all shifts (Morning, evening and night).

Please check.

See above.
 
Most companies do not have the word "company" as part of their name.
For example,
Microsoft
Tata Motors
Lufthansa
Johnson & Johnson
 
Tufguy has been told over and over and over again to try using just "XYZ" or something like "[name of company]" but persists with "XYZ company". I, for one, have given up correcting that because it's a waste of my time.

(There are, of course, a few exceptions with company names - officially, Coke is "The Coca-Cola Company".)
 
At XYZ you have to work all shifts (Morning, evening and night).


At XYZ you have work all shifts (Morning, evening and night). Is this sentence incorrect because I didn't use "To" after work?

If you had used "to", it would have been incorrect.
 
It does need to after have, though, as in sentence 1.

Sorry I didn't get it the first sentence is correct and second is incorrect. Second sentence doesn't make any sense to me either without "To" could you please explain me what does it mean please?
 
Three shifts wouldn't be called "morning, evening, and night." First shift, second shift, third shift is used in an industrial environment.

When I worked at a 24 hour restaurant we called them (1st)"daylight," (2nd)"night" and third shift was either "overnight" or "graveyard."
 
I think most companies/industries have their own terminology. When I worked at an airport, we had four shifts - early, mid, late and nights.

You can write At XYZ you have to work all shifts. That's the sentence 2 I was talking about. It needs the to that I've set in bold​.

OK, but what does "At XYZ company you have work all shifts" mean? Could you please explain me its meaning?
 
It means you can't pick/choose which shifts you want to work/not work. You can't, for example, say "I won't work nights" or "I want to only work morning shifts".

It's not clear what that means as written. If you wrote ...you have to work all shifts..., I would understand it to mean that sometimes you have to work the first shift, sometimes you have to work the second, and sometimes you have to work the third.
 
Apologies. My post #13 is misleading. I thought tufguy was asking for the meaning of "You have to work all shifts".

Tufguy, "At XYZ, you have work all shifts" means nothing. It is completely incorrect without "to" after "have".

If it doesn't mean anything then why you guys were saying that It would have been incorrect to use "To" in post#6 and 7? I mean when I asked you to explain its meaning to me then you started saying that it is correct. I am sorry guys if I am asking a lot of questions and making you uneasy but please understand that I am a learner. Again sorry for bothering you again and again.

Because, in post #5 (quoted above), you suggested that you wanted to use "to" after "work". That would give the sentence "At XYZ, you work to all shifts". That means nothing.
