Questions
What is a 24/48 schedule?
You work 24 hours, usually 7:00 AM to 7:00 AM, then have 48 hours off. The cycle repeats every 3 days, so your shifts move through the days of the week. It's the most common schedule in US fire departments, usually worked by three platoons – A, B and C shift.
How many hours a week is a 24/48?
56 hours on average: one 24-hour shift every 3 days. Some weeks have 2 shifts (48 hours), some have 3 (72 hours).
How do I set up 24/48 in Shift Calendar?
Choose Fire Department, then 24/48, and tap any of your 24h shifts – past or future. The calendar is filled for years. You can change the times, for example 8:00 AM to 8:00 AM.
My department adds a Kelly day. What do I do?
If your cycle is 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 4 off, choose Kelly. For any other cycle – for example a Kelly day every 7th shift – set up your own rotation of that length.
