28-DAY ROTATION
DuPont shift schedule planner
The DuPont schedule is a 28-day, four-team rotation commonly used in continuous operations and plants.
What the DuPont cycle looks like
Teams typically alternate blocks of day shifts, night shifts and rest days. The exact sequence and shift length can differ, so use the roster supplied by your employer as the source of truth.
Why day-based repetition matters
A 28-day cycle is not the same as repeating a weekly calendar. Enter the sequence as work and rest days, then repeat every 28 days to keep the roster aligned through the year.
Check hours and allowances
Long rotations can make night premiums, weekend work and overtime easy to miss. Add each allowance for the same pay period before comparing the estimate with your payslip.
