ShiftFlowr / Panama 2-2-3 / Rotating setup
Rotating 56-day guide
Set up four weeks of Days, then four weeks of Nights.
The 2-2-3 work and rest cycle repeats every 14 days. In this rotating version, the shift type changes after four weeks, so the full Day/Night cycle lasts 56 days.
Before you start
Use your employer's real rotation anchor
Choose the date on which your current eight-week Day/Night rotation began, not today's date. If your crew starts with Nights, choose Nights as the first four-week block.
Some employers use a fixed Panama schedule or swap Days and Nights on a different cadence. Use this guide only when your schedule is four weeks of Days followed by four weeks of Nights, or the reverse.
