The 4-4, 4-4, 12-hour, rotation Shift Pattern is common in the healthcare industry and process manufacturing and provides 24-hour coverage. This pattern is made up of 4 teams (or crews) and 2, 12-hour, Shift Durations. This shift pattern occurs on a 16-day cycle, in which teams work for a total of 8 days, with a total of 8 days off. In this rotation, teams work 4 day shifts, have 4 days off, work 4 nights shifts, and end with 4 days off.
