How the Panama rotation works
The same 2-2-3 pattern as Pitman, but each crew switches between day and night shifts every two weeks, on a 28-day cycle. More about the Panama schedule, or the 2026 calendar.
Print or add to your calendar
Print all platoons prints one Letter page in landscape for the overview and one for each platoon. Print next to a platoon prints only that page. The .ics button saves that platoon's shifts for 2027 as timed events for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. For your own start time, skip dates or a custom cycle, use the shift calendar generator.
Questions
Is this my department's official calendar?
No. It follows the pattern and the date you choose. Departments set their own start dates, Kelly days, trades and holiday rules, so check the result against your department's published schedule.
How do I line it up with my shift?
Pick your platoon, then enter the date of the first day of any rotation you worked or will work, such as the first shift after your long break. Every other day of the year lines up from it, backward and forward.
Can I skip vacation days or trades?
Yes. On the generator, tap a shift in the month view or type the dates under More options. Skipped shifts leave the .ics, the printout and the totals. They are saved in the link you copy.
How are holidays counted?
The calendar marks the 11 federal holidays on the actual date, such as July 4, and counts a holiday as worked when one of your shifts starts that day. When a holiday falls on a weekend, the observed weekday is listed too. Your employer's holiday pay rules may use either date.
Is my schedule saved?
Your settings stay in this browser so the generator opens where you left it. Copy link puts them in a link you can send to your phone or share with your crew. Nothing is sent to our server.
How do I add the .ics file to my phone?
iPhone: open the downloaded file and tap Add All, or import it into a new calendar so it is easy to remove later. Google Calendar: on a computer, go to Settings, Import and export, choose the file and the calendar to add it to. Outlook: File, Open and export, Import, or drag the file onto the calendar. Each shift becomes one timed event, and 48-hour tours are one event.
Which time zone should I pick?
Choose your department's time zone so shifts stay at the right time if you travel. Device time writes times with no zone, and every calendar shows them as local time on the device. Across daylight saving changes, a shift keeps its clock times: 7:00 AM to 7:00 AM is 23 or 25 hours on those two nights, and the totals here count the scheduled length.
