See how to set up common work patterns in Domus. Each example shows exactly which settings to use.
Week-aligned patterns starting on any day.
Standard work week
The classic 5-day work week. Set a 7-day cycle, mark Monday through Friday as ON, and leave Saturday and Sunday OFF.
💡 The start date can be any day of the week — the 7-day cycle repeats regardless of which weekday you begin on.
Standard work week
Six-day week common in retail, hospitality, and service industries. Use a 7-day cycle with only Sunday off.
💡 The start date can be any day of the week — the 7-day cycle repeats regardless of which weekday you begin on.
Weekend work
Saturday and Sunday only — ideal for part-time weekend workers or students with weekend jobs.
💡 The start date can be any day of the week — the 7-day cycle repeats regardless of which weekday you begin on.
Repeating ON/OFF patterns not tied to specific weekdays — the days drift through the week each cycle.
Rotating shift
Work 3 consecutive days, then rest for 4. Common in healthcare, emergency services, and shift-based industries.
💡 The start date can be any day — what makes this pattern work is setting the cycle to exactly 7 days.
Rotating shift
Work 6 consecutive days, then rest for 3. A 9-day cycle common in warehousing, transport, and shift roles that run longer stretches before a break.
💡 The start date can be any day — what makes this pattern work is setting the cycle to exactly 9 days.
Rotating shift
A tighter rotation — 4 days work followed by 2 days rest in a 6-day cycle. Popular in manufacturing and distribution.
💡 The start date can be any day — what makes this pattern work is setting the cycle to exactly 6 days.
Rotating shift
Short, even rotation — 2 work, 2 rest. Common in security, hospitality, and 24/7 operations needing consistent coverage.
💡 The start date can be any day — what makes this pattern work is setting the cycle to exactly 4 days.
Rotating shift
Work one day, rest the next. The simplest setup is a 2-day cycle with Day 1 ON and Day 2 OFF. You can also use any even-numbered cycle (4, 6, 8 days…) and alternate ON and OFF days — the result is the same repeating pattern. Useful for caregivers, part-time staff, or anyone on a strict alternating schedule.
💡 The start date can be any day — what makes this pattern work is setting the cycle to exactly 2 days (or any even multiple).
Alternate: 6-day cycle, same result
Multi-week patterns where entire weeks alternate on and off.
Week-based rotation
Work a full Mon–Fri week, then have the entire next week off. Common for contractors, remote workers, and rotating custody arrangements.
Week-based rotation
Three consecutive work weeks followed by a full week off. Typical in fly-in/fly-out roles, remote site work, and offshore schedules.
