2-2-3 Schedule Pay Calculator
A common 12-hour 2-2-3 rotation produces one 36-hour week and one 48-hour week in a two-week cycle. Enter your actual pay rules below instead of assuming every employer handles overtime or differentials the same way.
Does a 2-2-3 schedule automatically mean 8 overtime hours?
No universal rule can be assumed. This calculator defaults to a 40-hour weekly threshold, which makes 8 hours in the 48-hour week use the entered overtime multiplier. Change the threshold and multiplier to match the policy that actually applies to you.
