Spanish term or phrase: jornada fraccionada /jornada continua
En relación con las horas de trabajo, cada instalación realiza un horario según establece la ley mediante jornadas continuas o fraccionadas en el caso de actividades no vinculadas a la fabricación. Además, en las instalaciones de conservas se trabaja con tres turnos para cubrir todo el día.

¿Cómo se podría traducir? ¿continuous workday para jornada continua ? En el caso de jornada fraccionada se podría utilizar el término "part time"?

Gracias!

Explanation:
I agree with Enrique on the translation for "jornada fraccionada", but "continuous shift" is more commonly used than "straight shift", I believe.

agree  Gethin Sugar: I agree with Carlos, we are definitely talking about "split shifts" and "continuous shifts". A quick Google comparison also would lead me to favour continuous as the vast majority of results for "straight shift" are about cars, not working patterns.
