Shift planning guide

Create a shift plan online

A repeating rotation can be extended across months and years from one reliable start date. A complete sequence and correct day-one assignment are essential.

Enter the complete rotation

  • Assign every day in the sequence as Early, Late, Night or Off.
  • After the final day, the rotation starts again at day 1.

Choose the correct start date

  • Use a calendar date whose position in the rotation you know.
  • This connects day 1 to the calendar and prevents a permanent offset.

Month and year views

  • Check a familiar month first.
  • Then generate the yearly plan and save or print it as a PDF.

When to update the plan

  • A permanent rotation change requires a new sequence.
  • Short-notice swaps, leave and sickness are not part of the repeating base pattern.
