The “opposite” of a rotating shift is a fixed schedule. Rotational shift work - or rotating shift for short - is a scheduling system where employees move through a cycle of working the day shift, the night shift, and any swing shifts that may be necessary. We’ve created this guide to show the ins-and-outs of the rotating shift schedule, including the advantages and disadvantages, and how to set up a rotating schedule of your own. The rotating shift schedule gives all team members the opportunity to cycle through working both the dinner service and the lunch service. If you restrict one team to the less-desirable shift, this can seriously affect employee morale and productivity. The rotating shift also has benefits for restaurants where the dinner service may make more money than the lunch service. This keeps all your operating hours covered while still giving your employees regular time off.
In a rotating schedule, employees work the day shift for one or two weeks and then switch to working the night shift for one or two weeks. Thankfully, there is a simple solution to this dilemma: the rotating shift. When you start to think about the logistics of it all, you can see how scheduling could become a chaotic nightmare very quickly.
If you manage a business that’s open for fourteen, sixteen, or even twenty-four hours, how do you schedule your employees? Do you make one team always work nights and the other team always work days? When do your employees get time off?
