The 5-3, 5-4, 5-3, 10-Hour Rotation Shift Pattern

The 5-3, 5-4, 5-3, 10-hour, rotation Shift Pattern provides 24-hour coverage. This pattern is made up of 5 teams (or crews) and 3 overlapping 10-hour Shift Durations. This shift pattern occurs on a 25-day cycle, in which teams work for a total of 15 days, with a total of 10 days off. In this rotation, teams work 5 day shifts, have 3 days off, work 5 swing shifts, have 4 days off, work 5 night shifts, and end with 3 days off.

Over the course of the 25 days, crews will work all 3, 10-hour shift durations. These durations are fully customizable to what suits your organization best.
