Check the result against your roster: employers run these patterns in slightly different ways.

How the 2 weeks on 1 week off pattern works

The cycle is three weeks long, so you work about 35 weeks a year. The off week comes round every three weeks and so lands on a different date each time. A round-the-clock team on this rotation needs three crews staggered a week apart.

Also searched for as: 14 on 7 off, 14/7 rotation, 2 on 1 off.

The cycle is 21 days long: 14 shifts, 7 days off, and then it starts again.

Good and bad about 2 weeks on 1 week off

In its favour

  • A week off every three weeks
  • Fewer trips than a 7-day rotation
  • Predictable 21-day rhythm

Against it

  • Two thirds of the year at work
  • Two weeks in a row
  • Covers more days than a half-and-half rotation

Who uses 2 weeks on 1 week off

Used in remote site work and some seasonal and project jobs where one crew does two weeks and one week is cover.

Employers run these patterns in slightly different ways, and a union contract or roster can differ from the version here. The grid above is exact for the cycle shown: if your roster differs, choose “My own cycle” in the calendar and type it in.

Frequently asked questions

How many hours a week is 2 weeks on 1 week off?

On average 56 hours a week, at 12 hours a shift: 14 shifts in every 21-day cycle. The weeks are not all alike, so a single week can hold more or fewer hours than the average. Change the shift length in the calendar and every number follows.

How many days off a year do I get on 2 weeks on 1 week off?

About 122 days off in a 365-day year and about 244 shifts, with a longest run of 14 shifts and a longest break of 7 days. Put your real start date in the calendar for the exact count in your year, including how many weekends are fully off.

If I work 2 weeks on and 1 week off, how many weeks a year do I work?

About 34.8 weeks: two thirds of 52.2 weeks. That is roughly 243 working days and 122 days off in a 365-day year. The numbers above the calendar are exact for your start date.

Can I put the 2 weeks on 1 week off pattern in Google Calendar or on my phone?

Yes. Pick your start date, press Add to my calendar, and open the .ics file in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. Each shift has a fixed ID, so importing the file again later replaces your shifts instead of adding a second set.
