We have constructed lists of sample shift patterns (rosters, rotas) for continuous, semi-continuous and discontinuous shiftworking.
If you can't find a shift pattern to match your requirements and you need some ideas, email
describing the staffing levels you require by time of day through the week with other relevant information such as the number of staff available and the weekly contracted hours (or annual hours in the case of annual hour systems). Please include your name, company, telephone number and a brief description of your application. We will assess this information and contact you with an outline of what we can do to help and a quote for the work.
 | Continuous: one team rostered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24/7) |
| Semi-continuous: one team rostered continuously for part of the week |
| Discontinuous: not 24 hours a day, but could be 7 days a week |
The lists are available in the following formats:
| Microsoft Excel spreadsheet |
| Microsoft Word document |
| RotaBase (a database of rotas that can be opened by our two software products, RotaBase and RotaView) |
We have also constructed examples of annual rosters (rotas) which are typically used in annualised hour systems. See our Annual Rosters page for details.
RotaBase allows you to:
| Select a rota from a library of rotas |
| Produce individual or team calendars on the screen or as printouts |
| View the rota in a number of ways, over any period of time, on the screen or as printouts |
| Add your own shift and absence codes with start and finish times, descriptions and hours of work |
| Assign a colour to a shift code |
| Do shift count and hour calculations over any period of time |
| Cut and paste rotas to and from other Windows applications, such as Excel |
RotaView is a shift planning and administration system that contains all the functionality of RotaPick and much more besides.
