Weeks are used by the optimised scheduler to optimise minimum and maximum
shifts in a week. If the same hours are worked every week just enter the
Short Week values.

Rotating Shift Mix

Employees working
permanent night shift are paid a higher loading than employees working
rotating night shift.
Permanent night
shift is based on the percentage of your shifts worked on night shift.
In the example an
employee who worked more than 33% of their shifts on nights would be classed
by the system as being on permanent night shift.
The optimised
scheduler minimises costs by keeping night shifts below this threshold.
