Notes | This is an alternative to the Continental plan for 24/7 operations using 8-hr shifts. It reduces the maximum number of consecutive work nights from 3 to 2, and consecutive work days from 7 to 6. The Continental plan, however, provides 3 consecutive days off and ensures 1 free weekend every 4 weeks. |
