10-Hour Shift Schedule Generator
Ten-hour shifts are often used to compress a standard workweek into fewer workdays. This generator starts with four on and three off, with controls to change the recurring cycle.
Enter your scheduling assumptions
Change the inputs and the result updates immediately. Keep the assumptions realistic—the output is only as useful as the staffing model you give it.
4 work/duty days in each 7-day cycle
This calendar shows the stated repeating pattern. Team phase offsets, day/night handoffs, local policy, labor rules, and qualification requirements still need to be applied for an operational schedule.
Method
The generator starts with four working days followed by three off days and lets you change both blocks. The average-hours estimate uses ten hours per working day.
Example
A 4-on/3-off cycle at ten hours per workday averages 40 scheduled hours per seven days.
What the answer means
Treat the calendar as the repeating skeleton for one team. Multi-team operations still need crew offsets, day/night assignments, handoffs, qualifications, and coverage validation.
What this tool does not prove
This preview models the recurring calendar only. Start times, overlapping coverage, and staggered compressed-workweek teams must be designed separately.

Choose a start date so the pattern maps to real dates.
Use the staffing calculators to confirm the rotation can support your required daily coverage.
Capacity math cannot see every person-level scheduling constraint
A staffing model can be mathematically feasible and still fail when only certain people are qualified for a role, approved absences remove key people, assignments overlap, rest windows are too short, or coverage changes on specific dates. Those are the checks RoleSchedule keeps attached to the schedule itself.
