The window is split into equal shifts for a clean rota. Real schedules add handover overlap, breaks and relief cover — the officer count already allows for a 40-hour working week and rest days.

How to use it

  1. Enter guards on post, the daily hours and the days per week you need covered.
  2. Choose a shift length and the hour that cover should start.
  3. Read the total guard-hours per week and the shift grid it produces.
  4. Use the officer count to plan a rota that allows for a 40-hour week and rest days.
