6-DAY DAY/NIGHT ROTATION
DDNNOO shift schedule calendar
DDNNOO means two day shifts, two night shifts and two days off. The compact six-day cycle moves continuously through the calendar.
How the rotation works
Day, day, night, night, off, off. Enter the actual day- and night-shift hours so overnight work is counted on the correct date.
Choose the real first day of the cycle. A day-based generator then carries the complete work-and-rest sequence across weeks, months and year boundaries without resetting on Monday.
Who commonly uses it
Factories, hospitals, control rooms and other 24/7 operations that rotate employees between day and night coverage.
The shift names and hours can be changed before generation. Individual overtime, training, leave or cover shifts can be added afterward without changing the base rotation.
Hours, overtime and pay
Enter the actual start time, end time, unpaid break, hourly rate and overtime multiplier. PayCheck AI totals the scheduled hours and produces an independent gross-pay estimate. Add night, weekend or other allowances when they apply.
What to verify
The quick change from day to night work can affect sleep and recovery. Workplace rest rules and handover times must be checked independently.
