What this site is
Shift Pattern Generator provides independent information, tools and data. Figures are researched, sourced inline, and dated; tools show their assumptions. Shift Pattern Generator is an independent site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to gov.uk, Acas, the Health and Safety Executive or any government body, and it is not a law firm or an employment adviser. Nothing here is legal advice on a particular rota. The tool applies published statutory limits to the pattern you enter and reports where it sits against them; whether a specific pattern is lawful also depends on individual opt-outs, exempt categories, collective or workforce agreements and the sector rules for drivers, seafarers and young workers, none of which it models. We publish no figure that is not either derived from your own inputs or taken from a source cited on this page.
What this site is not
Nothing here is financial, legal, tax, medical or other regulated advice, and no tool output is a quote, an offer, or a recommendation to act. Results are estimates from the stated assumptions; confirm anything that matters with a qualified, authorised professional before acting. Where we introduce you to a provider, we act as an introducer only: we do not advise on, arrange, or recommend between providers, and we never handle client money.
Accuracy and liability
We work to keep every figure current (each table shows its last-updated date) but make no warranty that content is error-free. To the extent permitted by law, Ellul Solutions Ltd accepts no liability for loss arising from reliance on this site. Links to external sites are provided for sourcing; we are not responsible for their content.
Embedding and citation
You may cite this site's data with attribution (a link to the page cited) and may use the embeddable widget where offered, unmodified. Scraping that removes attribution, or republishing tables wholesale without a link, is not permitted.
