This is the British English definition of shift.View American English definition of shift.

Rotational shift work — or rotating shift for short — is a scheduling system where employees move through a cycle of working the day shift, the night shift, and any swing shifts that may be necessary. The “opposite” of a rotating shift is a fixed schedule. Vertical shift D = 3; In words: the 2 tells us it will be 2 times taller than usual, so Amplitude = 2; the usual period is 2 π, but in our case that is 'sped up' (made shorter) by the 4 in 4x, so Period = π /2; and the −0.5 means it will be shifted to the right by 0.5; lastly the +3 tells us the center line is y = +3, so Vertical Shift = 3.
