Here are links to articles I've written about 12-hour shift schedules:
1. 12-hour shifts
2. 12-hour shifts in smaller organizations
3. Are 12-hour shifts too long?
4. 12-hour shift schedule considerations
5. Matching 12-hour shifts to your workload distribution
6. Mixing 8-hour and 12-hour shifts
7. 12-hour shift schedules with no overtime
8. Covering absences with 12-hour shifts
If you are looking for examples of 12-hour schedules for 24/7 coverage:
1. Package of ten different 12-hour rotating shift schedules
2. Package of ten different 12-hour fixed shift schedules
If you have any of these conditions, you will need a custom-designed schedule:
1. Your company's hours of operation are less than 24/7
2. Your coverage varies by day of the day, e.g., 4-person coverage on weekdays and 2-person coverage on weekends
3. Your coverage doesn't vary in 12-hour increments, e.g., you need 4-person coverage from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 2-person coverage from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
