Rota

Rota, in the context of scheduling, refers to a systematic arrangement of shifts, tasks, or duties assigned to individuals or teams within a business over a specified period of time. It serves as a structured plan that outlines when and where each person is expected to work or perform specific responsibilities.

Rotas are designed to ensure adequate coverage, maintain productivity, and facilitate effective coordination among staff members or resources. They often involve a recurring cycle or pattern that may vary based on factors such as staffing requirements, operational needs, and employee preferences.

Rotas are commonly used in various industries such as healthcare, hospitality, retail, and manufacturing to manage staffing, workload distribution, and resource utilization.

A rota is also known as a schedule, roster or shift plan.
