Shift planning
Define it once. Let it repeat.
"Five days on, two days off" is a pattern. You enter it once and the monthly plan fills itself. On a night shift the rollover is read from the time range.
In short
A cyclic working arrangement is written once as a pattern and applied across the month. Each weekday can carry its own start and end time, break and grace period. On a night shift the day rollover follows from the shift's time range, so nothing is flagged by hand.

A Saturday that starts later is forgotten in the spreadsheet.

Leave and swaps
Someone changes shift and the plan no longer matches reality.
The pattern repeats, you do not.

Frequently asked questions
Shift planning questions.
If your question is not here, write to us directly — we usually reply within one business hour.
Ask on WhatsAppWhat is a rotation pattern?
It is shorthand for a cyclic working arrangement. "Five on, two off" means five working days followed by two rest days. The pattern is defined once and the monthly plan fills itself.
Which day does a night shift count towards?
You define the shift as a time range, for example 23:00–07:00, and the system works out the rollover from that range. It is never flagged by hand.
Can the plan be changed after it is filled?
Yes. A filled plan is not locked; you correct the individual day where leave or a swap applies. The system handles the repetition, you handle the exception.
Can I set different hours for each weekday?
Yes. Every day of the week can have its own start and end time, break and grace period.
How is leave handled?
Public holidays sit in the holiday calendar with their coefficient, half days can be marked, and paid leave is flagged on the relevant day.
