The reference date

The first day links a real calendar date to the first block of the cycle. For a 3/3/3/3 schedule, choose a date that was the first day of the first three-shift block.

A wrong reference date shifts the whole result, while changing the displayed year does not.

Building the sequence

1. Add a work or rest block.
2. Set the number of consecutive days in the block.
3. For work, choose an existing shift or create one in advanced settings.
4. Arrange blocks in the exact order in which they repeat.

Shift time and work after midnight

Each work shift can have a name, color, start and end time. If the end is earlier than the start, the shift ends on the next calendar day.

Hours and pay are then allocated to the actual dates and months.

Fixed days off

A fixed weekday can simply be marked as a day off, or it can shift the cycle. With cycle shifting, the missed workday is inserted after the fixed day off and the original sequence continues.
