Is the three-shift system in Class 5 common?
Thread Content
How many units operate on a five-shift, three-shift rotation, and what’s everyone’s opinion on that
Reply 1# YUFANDU: How exactly is the three-shift system in Class 5 implemented? We work in shifts of four, three shifts per day.
There are such things too? We also have a four-shift system with three rotations
Class 5, Group 3 involves 6 classes over 10 days, with 8 hours per class. For example, Day 1 involves working from 6 PM to 2 AM, Day 2 also involves working from 6 PM to 2 AM, Day 3 is off, Day 4 involves working from 10 AM to 6 PM, Day 5 also involves working from 10 AM to 6 PM, Day 6 is off, Day 7 involves working from 2 PM to 10 AM, Day 8 is off, Day 9 is off, Day 10 involves working from 2 PM to 10 AM, and Day 11 involves working from 6 PM to 2 AM; this pattern repeats itself, with a cycle of 10 days
There is a shortage of staff now; it’s already difficult to operate on a four-shift, three-shift system, let alone a five-shift, three-shift system
Reply to 6# ray1513: The rest time during the four-shift, three-shift system is too short; it’s unbearable

I think a 4-shift, 3-team system is completely acceptable; it just depends on how it’s arranged. Here is the arrangement I consider ideal: 4 teams working in a 3-shift rotation, with day shifts lasting 12 hours and night shifts consisting of two groups of 6 hours each. The rotation takes place every 4 weeks, allowing each person to have one week off. 168 hours per person over 4 weeks. The salary is not calculated on a daily basis but on an hourly basis. There is no allowance for day shifts or early night shifts, while double pay is given for late night shifts, meaning an additional 42 hours’ worth of payment. Quoted from http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=862195&rpid=6082811&ordertype=0&page=1#pid6082811. Please share your opinions on whether this shift schedule is more reasonable.
We work in shifts of four, and some even work in shifts of three.
We are in Shift 4, on a 2-shift rotation; our role is production scheduling. The day shift runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the night shift from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. the next day, and then we have another day shift from 8 a.m. to 8 a.m. on the third day. For frontline production positions, there are 4 shifts and 3 rotations: the day shift runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on days 9, 9, and 6; the middle shift runs from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. the next day; and the late night shift runs from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. It’s a double-cycle system – day shift followed by day shift, middle shift followed by middle shift, and late night shift followed by late night shift
