4-on-4-off Schedule Template: Ready to Use

A ready-made 4-on-4-off rotation: four 12-hour day shifts, four days off, repeating on an 8-day cycle, published as a subscribable calendar link.

Verifying you're human…

What's in this template

  • The full 8-day cycle out 6 months, no weekly-repeat workarounds
  • Each 4-day block off visible months ahead for trips
  • Overnight-safe times if you switch to the night variant
  • A published calendar link the household subscribes to once

4-on-4-off looks simple but never fits a 7-day calendar: the block slides one day earlier each week, so a weekly repeat rule drifts within a month. This template lays out the 8-day cycle once and generates it months ahead.

Set the start date to the first day of your current 4-on block on the posted roster, generate, and confirm the first off-block lands where the roster says.

Subscribed times follow one crew. If your crew starts on a different day, shift the start date by the offset on your roster. The 4-on, 4-off pattern is identical for every crew.

Night crew? Change the day times to nights in the prompt and shifts that end the next morning are handled. Publish and the output is a calendar link to subscribe and share.
