What is Rotating Schedule?

A scheduling pattern where employees cycle through different shifts (day, evening, night) on a recurring basis rather than working the same shift consistently.

Understanding Rotating Schedule

Rotating schedules are common in 24/7 operations like manufacturing, healthcare, and call centers. They distribute the burden of less desirable shifts (nights, weekends) among all employees. Common patterns include weekly rotation, bi-weekly rotation, or specific patterns like the DuPont or Panama schedules.
