How the 14-Day Pitman Schedule Works
Commonly deployed in emergency medical services (EMS), law enforcement, dispatch centers, and manufacturing plants, the Pitman schedule organizes teams into four rotating crews (usually two day crews and two night crews) to provide continuous coverage.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Pitman shift schedule?
The Pitman schedule (14-day 2-2-3-2-2-3 continuous rotation) is a repeating pattern for 24/7 operations. Workers work 2 days, take 2 off, work 3 days, take 2 off, work 2 days, and finish with a 3-day weekend off. Over a 2-week period, employees work 7 out of 14 days (typically 84 hours with 12-hour shifts).

Workers never work more than 3 consecutive days, get every other weekend off (Friday through Sunday), and enjoy frequent 2-day breaks during the week.
