48/96 Shift Schedule Generator
Generate two 24-hour duty days followed by four days off and export the calendar.
It is easy to confuse the first and second day of a 48-hour duty block when planning months ahead.
Use the first day of a confirmed 48-hour work block as the anchor. The generator follows it with another duty day, then four days off.
Set the pattern once.
Choose the first working day in your cycle. The generator fills the remaining dates automatically.
Showing the first 42 days. Your downloaded calendar contains all 92 days.
Verify the generated calendar against several dates on your official roster before importing it.
A calendar needs the right starting point.
The 48/96 cycle repeats every six days. Confirm whether your anchor is the first duty day because using the second day shifts the entire calendar.
Four checks that prevent a wrong calendar.
- Use the first day of the 48-hour block
- Compare multiple duty dates
- Add Kelly days and swaps
- Keep pay rules separate
What the generator can and cannot do
Can the anchor be either duty day?
Use the first day of the two-day work block for this generator.
Does this include Kelly days?
No. Those depend on the department and should be added separately.
Does 48 scheduled hours mean 48 paid hours?
Not necessarily. Department policy and applicable rules determine compensable time.
