Roster is to balance each 6 week period. That is 228 hours to be worked over the 6 week period {No unders or overs to carry forward} ( Equal to 6 x 38 hours).

I have 8 positions and 18 Officers to fill them (2.25 Officers per position)
Positions are:

SSU: 3 Officers x 12 hour x 7 days
SNU: 2 Officers x 12 hour x 7 days
MU : 2 Officers x 12 hour x 5 days and 1 Officer x 12hour x 2 days (2 Officers M-F, 1 Officer Sat-Sun)
Night: 1 x 12hour x 7 days.

Officers rotate SSU - SNU - MU during the 18 week cycle and work a night shift as required.

Example would be, commencing Monday Week 1 of the 6 week cycle:

2 x 12hours SSU, 3 days off, 2 x 12 hours SSU, 1x12hours Night, 3 days off, 3 x 12 hours SSU, 3 days off, 2 x 12 hours SSU, 3 days off, 3 x 12 hours SSU, 3 days off, 2 x 12 hours SSU 1 x 12 hour Night, 6 days off, 3 x 12 hour SSU 2 days off ( 6 week period finishes here, the next 6 week period would commence with 1 day off, then go 2 on, 2 off, 3 on, 3 off, 3on etc)

First 6 week period the Officer may work predominently in the SSU, in the next period it may be the MU followed by the SNU then followed by the SSU, followed By the MU etc).

There may be a need to work a double night shifts and up to 4 days straight as what I am trying to achieve is a reasonable break of between 6 - 8 days off every 6 weeks or there abouts.

Yeah I know..... clear as mud.

Okay all you experts lets see how you go
