This work schedule ensures your business is open 24\/7, but it also enables productivity and employee satisfaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two versions of this schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Pitman fixed schedule, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The rotating Pitman schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"variation-1-the-pitman-fixed-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variation #1: The Pitman fixed schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During all cycles of the Pitman fixed schedule, all four teams follow a fixed schedule. So, the first two teams work day shifts, while the other two teams work night shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An employee will go through the following cycle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Work two business days,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take two days off,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work three business days,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take two days off,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work two business days,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take three days off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pitman fixed schedule is also known as the 2-3-2 schedule because employees have two days off followed by three working days, and then they have two days off again.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first team works the day shift while the second team works the night shift, as you can see in the table below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"978\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Team-number-one.png\" alt=\"Team number one\" class=\"wp-image-16158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Team-number-one.png 1200w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Team-number-one-300x245.png 300w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Team-number-one-773x630.png 773w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Team-number-one-768x626.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During the same period, the other two teams follow this schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"978\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Team-number-two.png\" alt=\"Team number two\" class=\"wp-image-16159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Team-number-two.png 1200w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Team-number-two-300x245.png 300w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Team-number-two-773x630.png 773w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Team-number-two-768x626.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"variation-2-the-rotating-pitman-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variation #2: The rotating Pitman schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike in the Pitman fixed schedule, where teams always work in the same shifts, in the Pitman rotating schedule, four teams rotate between day and night shifts.&nbsp; During the first two weeks one team works the day shift, and during the next two weeks it works at night. And, the team that worked at night in the first cycle will work the day shift in the next cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also known as the 2-2 3-2 2-3 schedule because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>During the first week, we have two working days, then two days off followed by three working days.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The second week starts with two days off, then we have two working days followed by three days off.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, basically, the numbers 2-2 3 cover the first week and 2 2-3 the second week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following is the schedule for the first team in this rotating shift work:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1201\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-1.png\" alt=\"Team number 1\" class=\"wp-image-16136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-1.png 1200w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-1-629x630.png 629w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-1-768x769.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The second team&#8217;s schedule is similar to the first team&#8217;s schedule, with one difference \u2014 instead of the day shift, the second team works during the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same is for the third and fourth teams:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1201\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-2.png\" alt=\"Team number 2\" class=\"wp-image-16137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-2.png 1200w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-2-629x630.png 629w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Team-number-2-768x769.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group pro-tip\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group pro-tip\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Clockify Pro Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other work schedule variations, and if you want to find out more about those work patterns, read our blog posts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/business\/2-2-3-work-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What is the 2-2-3 work schedule and why is it useful?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/tracking-time\/9-80-work-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">9\/80 work schedule \u2014 what it is and how it works<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/business\/ddnnoo-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What is the DDNNOO work schedule and how to implement it?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/business\/dupont-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The DuPont schedule \u2014 What is it and why should you use it?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"who-uses-the-pitman-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who uses the Pitman schedule?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pitman work schedule is commonly implemented in mid-large departments that operate outside of the typical 9\u20135 workday like in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Police force,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emergency medical care (EMC),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer service, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dispatching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These industries use the Pitman work pattern to provide 24\/7 service while reducing burnout, protecting sleep schedules, and prioritizing work-life balance for everyone on the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"advantages-of-the-pitman-work-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of the Pitman work schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the Pitman schedule is most commonly implemented in police departments, emergency services, and call centers, it is not surprising that other industries use the Pitman schedule too. Since it helps with improving <a href=\"https:\/\/applications.emro.who.int\/imemrf\/558\/J-Health-Saf-Work-2021-11-1-36-39-eng.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee satisfaction<\/a>, among other benefits, many companies have already adopted the Pitman schedule. If you decide to do the same, here are some of the most common advantages you\u2019ll definitely spot right away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"advantage-1-higher-earnings-for-employees\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantage #1: Higher earnings for employees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying the Pitman schedule and working 12-hour shifts means that your employees will earn a base wage with added percentage for additional four-hour work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, most nurses are paid more for working night shifts, or at the weekend. This is a great benefit for your workers as it can be up to a third of their original pay. This increases employee satisfaction and motivation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"advantage-2-less-time-spent-in-traffic\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantage #2: Less time spent in traffic&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a regular 9\u20135 job, you will likely spend hours stuck in traffic, as you will commute during the peak hours. But, if you follow the Pitman shift schedule, you can forget about stressful commuting due to traffic congestion. Furthermore, you will easily find a car park.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"disadvantages-of-the-pitman-work-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages of the Pitman work schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Pitman work schedule is a popular and efficient way of organizing work, it has its issues, especially since it involves long working hours. We\u2019ve found and listed some of the most common cons of this work pattern.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"disadvantage-1-lack-of-safety-when-going-to-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantage #1: Lack of safety when going to work&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in shifts and during the night means returning home late when there are fewer people on the streets, and depending on the location of your job, it can be more or less dangerous. For example, if you are a nurse working a night shift, walking alone at night can be stressful, as well as driving because more people drive under the influence of alcohol at night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"disadvantage-2-poor-health-choices\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantage #2: Poor health choices&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-shift work comes with changes in eating and sleeping cycles, which can cause a lot of stress. That\u2019s why shift working is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/nutrition-research-reviews\/article\/dietary-and-lifestyle-habits-and-the-associated-health-risks-in-shift-workers\/2DB9B1106211DC12098C3C8EB3D56509\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">often linked to higher rates of poor health choices<\/a>, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Short sleep duration,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smoking,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obesity,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low physical activity, and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Higher alcohol use.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"tips-to-implement-the-pitman-work-schedule-effectively\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips to implement the Pitman work schedule effectively<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pitman work schedule has many advantages, but it also has its disadvantages. However, these drawbacks can be reduced by implementing the Pitman work pattern correctly. Here are some tips on how to use the Pitman work schedule successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tip-1-create-a-rulebook\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #1: Create a rulebook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementing the Pitman schedule can be confusing for your employees, especially those who haven\u2019t worked in shifts. They may struggle to remember the times of their shifts or some other important details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s a good idea to have a rulebook that will be available to all your employees where they can easily find all the important information related to their shifts, projects, and tasks. Moreover, if you need help with creating schedules that are easily accessible to your employees, you can use tools like Clockify by <a href=\"https:\/\/cake.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAKE.com<\/a>, which also has <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/schedule-templates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">schedule templates<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"banner banner-dark clockify-gradient-features\">\n    <div class=\"banner-text lg:pr-[6rem]\">\n        <span class=\"h4 text-lg translation-block mb-0\">Free time tracker<\/span>\n        <p class=\"translation-block mt-1 mb-3\">Time tracking software used by millions.

The reason for this is that many people don\u2019t feel safe walking alone or using public transport as crime rates are higher at night. Taking care of your employee\u2019s transport can help build trusting relationships between management and employees and make employees loyal to the company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiredness is often the cause of many car accidents so creating a carpooling system can reduce the likelihood of these casualties. Additionally, employees usually prefer carpooling over public transport as it is faster and they get more time to sleep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage of carpooling is that it is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2352146521003732\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost-efficient<\/a>. Employees like the idea of saving money by sharing seats in a car.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, carpooling is a great way of creating <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2017\/01\/the-neuroscience-of-trust\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee bonding<\/a>, as they get to spend more time together outside of work and work as a team. Nurturing this type of <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/blog\/collaborative-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">collaborative culture<\/a> will result in building trust among colleagues and higher employee productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tip-3-work-out-the-type-of-skills-and-the-number-of-employees-needed\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3: Work out the type of skills and the number of employees needed&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like in every business, managers should decide how many employees are needed to cover all shifts. The number depends on the type of job and it can vary from business to business. Moreover, you should also figure out what skillsets are needed for your business and different shifts as some shifts may require specific skills. Using <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/employee-scheduling-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee scheduling software<\/a> can help you organize your workers and their schedules much faster, predict future demand, and match your staffing levels accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tip-4-enable-your-employees-to-be-up-to-date-with-their-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #4: Enable your employees to be up to date with their schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scheduling shifts manually for large teams of employees can be a challenging and time-consuming process. So, you should grab every opportunity to reduce time spent on a task as it equals increased profits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, following a changing schedule can be confusing for your employees, especially the new ones, who still haven\u2019t gotten used to this type of work. Some of them can even miss their shift if they don\u2019t pay enough attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using a <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/project-scheduling-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">project scheduling tool<\/a> such as Clockify, you can alert them in advance about their shifts, and it enables them to easily check their schedules and be up to date with all changes that may occur.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"307\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Scheduling-employees.png\" alt=\"Scheduling employees\" class=\"wp-image-16138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Scheduling-employees.png 628w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Scheduling-employees-300x147.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In Clockify, you can have a clear overview of employees&#8217; schedules\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"use-clockify-by-cake-com-to-manage-time-off-in-your-pitman-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Clockify by CAKE.com to manage time off in your Pitman schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The irregular work-rest patterns of the Pitman schedule can turn time off requests into a nightmare.
