My friend told me that he is working a PM shift five days a week. I believe he meant either an afternoon or an evening shift.
Is it correct to say "a PM shift"? Thanks for your help.
Does it make sense to say "PM shifts"?

Re: Does it make sense to say "PM shifts"?
I've never heard this expression but I suppose your friend means he works from 12 noon to 12 midnight. That is the literal meaning of PM or post meridian.
post = after
meridian = noon
post = after
meridian = noon
