24/48 Schedule Generator
A 24/48 rotation repeats one 24-hour duty period followed by two full days off. Suitability depends on the work, recovery expectations, staffing rules, and applicable policy.
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.
1 work/duty days in each 3-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 repeats one 24-hour duty period followed by two full calendar days off.
Example
One 24-hour duty period every three days averages 56 scheduled duty hours per seven calendar 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
Extended-duty schedules require organization-specific safety, sleep, staffing, compensation, and legal review. This page only maps the repeating calendar pattern.

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.
