Here are links to articles I've written about 12-hour shift schedules:

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

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.
