rotating schedule
Cyclical work calendar
A rotating schedule is a work arrangement where employees cycle through different shifts, days, or responsibilities on a regular basis.
Common in hospitals, factories, and retail, it distributes desirable and undesirable hours more evenly: The nurses work a rotating schedule so no one is stuck with nights permanently.
The rotation might be weekly, biweekly, or follow other patterns.
