2-2-3 Shift Annual Leave Planner
Plan annual leave around a repeating 2-2-3 work/off cycle and identify efficient blocks of time away.
A 14-day work/off cycle
The 2-2-3 preset models a fourteen-day sequence of two work, two off, three work, two off, two work and three off. Employers use variations of 2-2-3 arrangements, so compare this sequence with your actual published pattern before relying on the result.
Find where leave bridges the gaps
The optimiser searches for rostered work shifts that sit between existing off periods and shows how many calendar days each potential leave block could create.
Use custom mode for a different variation
If your employer's 2-2-3 arrangement uses a different sequence or rotates days and nights in a way that matters to your leave dates, switch to the custom repeating pattern and enter the cycle exactly as your roster uses it.
Use the leave balance and rota dates supplied by your employer. Work Decisions UK only models the calendar pattern you enter and does not determine employment rights, leave deductions or approval.
Optimise your actual dates
The useful part is not a generic example calendar. Your position within the repeating cycle changes the best leave dates, so the optimiser asks for one date you know is day 1 of your cycle and generates the planning year from that anchor.
