The usual shift run (say it starts on a monday)
mon 1500-2300
tues 1130-1930
wed morn 0600-1315
wed night 2330 - 0615 thurs morn.

CAPN BLOGGS: If I'm being controlled by somebody doing this week in week out, I'm not impressed.
not to worry Capn Bloggs, every 2nd cycle is (following on from the above example)
Sun 1300-2100
Mon 0700-1500
Tues morn 0500-1200
Tuesday night 2245 - 0515 Wed morn

nothing like variety, eh?

When I tried to make a roster that was not crammed together, because of our groups requirement for two people on the night shift, it usually meant finishing at 2300 last day, back 0500 1st day, or having single days off - and either option makes overtime even more unpleasant.

of course that would'nt be a problem if we had enough staff.
