The 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, 10-hour, rotation Shift Pattern provides 24-hour coverage. This pattern is made up of 5 teams (or crews) and 3 overlapping 10-hour Shift Durations. This shift pattern occurs on a 30-day cycle, in which teams work for 6 days, then have 4 days off. In this rotation, teams work 6 day shifts, have 4 days off, work 6 swing shifts, have 4 days off, work 6 night shifts, and end with 4 days off.

Over the course of the 30 days, crews will work all 3, 10-hour shift durations. The overlapping hours can be set to occur whenever is most convenient for your organization. This shift pattern has no days that overlap, providing less overlap than the [link to] 4-3, 10-Hour Rotating Shift Pattern.

Pros of the 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, 10 Hour, Rotation Shift Schedule:

• Shift patterns rotate so that each team gets 2 proper weekends each cycle
• Teams get 4 consecutive days off after each shift rotation

Cons of the 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, 10 Hour, Rotation Shift Schedule:

• Work weeks are long, working 6 consecutive 10-hour shifts.
• The overlapping hours could be a waste of labor and time
• Employees do not have consistency in the days that they work
