duty roster

Who works when

A duty roster is a schedule showing who is assigned to work specific tasks or shifts over a given period.

It's used in workplaces, military units, hospitals, and other organizations where responsibilities must be distributed among personnel.

Check the duty roster to see when you're on night shift.

The roster ensures coverage and helps prevent disputes about who's responsible for what.
