What is a 2-2-3 shift schedule?
The 2-2-3 schedule, also called the Panama schedule, spreads 12-hour shifts across a repeating 14-day cycle: work 2 days, take 2 off, work 3, take 2 off, work 2, then take 3 off. Every crew gets every other weekend off while the workplace stays covered around the clock.
It is a favorite in hospitals, emergency services, security firms, and manufacturing because it balances predictable rest with continuous coverage. This generator maps the pattern onto a real calendar, color-codes day and night shifts, highlights US or Canadian holidays, and gives you a clean printout.
