Questions
What is a 48/96 schedule?
You work two 24-hour days back to back – 48 hours – then have 96 hours (4 days) off. The cycle repeats every 6 days. Many fire departments, especially in the western US, use it instead of 24/48.
How many hours a week is a 48/96?
56 hours on average, the same as 24/48: 48 hours every 6 days. You go to work half as often, for twice as long.
Why does the day after a 48h shift show an arrow?
A 48-hour shift belongs to the day it starts. The arrow on the next day shows that it's still going – hours and pay are counted once.
