The 24-48 Shift Pattern is a common pattern that provides 24-hour coverage. This pattern is made up of 3 teams (or crews) and 3 24-hour Shift Durations. This shift pattern occurs on a 3-day cycle, in which teams work for a full 24 hours, followed by 48 hours off. In total employees work an average of 56 hours a week.

Pros of the 24-48 Shift Pattern:

• Employees never work an entire weekend
• Employees work a maximum of 3 days a week

Cons of the 24-48 Shift Pattern:

• Employees work 24 hours shifts, which can lead to fatigue and productivity issues
