Roster for DC operatos

Can someone provide me a sample roster for 5 DC operators covered 24x7 with 1 person doing only morning shift and other doing night only and other 3 rotating . Can have mix of 12 or 8 hrs shifts.Need to start shift at 7.00am in the morning.

Good questions, When you think it is busy?. You need change the staffs too. I can give you some hints.

In morning we need two people.So one has to start at 7.00am and other can start after 9.

Here is my thought.

You can put 2 Operators in the morning.

Since you have 16 hours left with 3 operators. You can come with some solution to cover up weekends and off day.

Just my 2 cents.

In this case, how to handle if one of operator sick

If one is sick, the others will be happy to pick up the slack most likely.

If you're providing dedicated servers your at least 4 guys too short to properly support the clients.

Is this a puzzle?

You can do 6 guys, rotating 8 hour shifts 3 days on, two days off, two days on, 3 days off. One set of three on 1 rotation and the other set of 3 on the other. This gives you coverage and a 5 day work week but doesn't allow much flexability. Your other option is to have a couple guys on an 8 hour shift and a couple on a 12 hour shift so there's some over lapping durring critical times.

Why? What if he only has 5 servers? Then he'd be a couple guys over staffed.
