4 On 2 Off Schedule Generator
A 4-on/2-off rotation keeps the cycle moving through the calendar instead of anchoring days off to fixed weekdays. Use the staffing tools to verify that the ratio works for your coverage requirement.
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 6-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 four working days followed by two off days. The preview uses an 8-hour shift assumption for the average-hours estimate.
Example
The six-day cycle works two-thirds of calendar days. At eight hours per workday it averages about 37.3 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
A rotating 4-on/2-off calendar does not stay anchored to weekends. Validate staffing ratios and local work limits separately.

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.
