How best to schedule 3 people to work 2 shifts 14hours 7days, working 5 days each with 2 days break.?

I need to figure out the most even distribution of two shifts 10:00-19:00 and 15:00-midnight among 3 people to cover seven 14 hour days allowing for all three to be working on a monday, each have a 2 day break after working 5 days straight.

The idea is to have the 2 day breaks alternating between the 3 people weekly yet maintaining a fair amount of early and late shifts per person and providing that all three are working on a monday. There also needs to be only two people working on saturdays and sundays.

I have grapled with this and have found a simple solution that sacrifices the 3-people-on-monday idea and 2-people-on-saturday/sunday idea (When a 6 day week with 2 day break ovelaps with a normal 5 day week, the off days increment by a day every week on the normal week, which means the 3 people days also increment). All should work 6 days with 2 days off. Is paying them for a six day week and sacrificing the monday idea the only option?How best to schedule 3 people to work 2 shifts 14hours 7days, working 5 days each with 2 days break.?
Right! Are there 3 persons per shift? Is this a standard 40 hour, closed Sat %26amp; Sun type of business. Or is it open 24 hours per day?



What someine needs is more data to work with.

Total number of personnel

Total number of hours per day open for business

Total number of Days per weel open for business

Do you have standby for illness or injury?



Just too many variants for the amount of info given.
