We've compiled an assortment of the most popular 24/7 shift schedules in use today, and assembled them into five convenient packages:

  • 8-hour fixed (permanent) shift schedules

  • 8-hour rotating shift schedules

  • 12-hour fixed (permanent) shift schedules

  • 12-hour rotating shift schedules

  • 8&12-hour rotating shift schedules

Each package contains ten different schedules, all designed for level coverage (the same number of employees on every shift). The schedules vary in the number of consecutive days worked, ranging from a few days of work (followed by a few days off) to several days of work (followed by several days off).

Each schedule includes the following information:

  • A table showing the on-off work pattern (click here for example)

  • An explanation of how the schedule works

  • A list of the advantages and disadvantages from both the business and employee perspectives

The schedules are presented in the same format, so you can easily display them side-by-side. Show them to your employees to determine what they like or don't like. These packages are a great way to illustrate the range of possibilities.

Each package includes a summary of the key schedule features:

  • Number of crews

  • Average hours of overtime per employee

  • Duration of the rotation (rotating schedules only)

  • Longest and shortest breaks

  • Number of partial and full weekends off each year

This summary makes it easy to compare the key schedule features at a glance. This will allow you to quickly search for schedules that meet your requirements. This summary is so useful that you may find yourself referring to it more than the schedules themselves.

There is no need to waste any more of your valuable time searching the Internet or calling around to other companies for free schedules. You're not going to find anything that matches this collection. And you’re certainly not going to find anything that’s organized around both your preferred shift length (8’s or 12’s) and your desired schedule format (fixed or rotating).

 

Each package sells for only $199, or less than $20 per schedule. There’s no sales tax and no delivery charges. For your convenience, we accept purchase orders, business checks, personal checks, and all major credit cards.

 

Once we obtain your payment arrangements, we’ll e-mail the schedules to you. Place your order today by clicking the button below. We will call you to review your order and to make sure this is the most appropriate choice for your situation.


If you'd like to see even more schedules, we also sell a CD that contains 75 different shift schedules for 24/7 coverage. There are 8-hour, 12-hour, and combined 8- and 12-hour schedules. 21 of the schedules have fixed shifts and the remaining 56 are rotating shifts. The price is $750. Shipping and handling are free anywhere in the U.S. Prices for foreign or overnight deliveries are based on FedEx delivery rates.
