Hello everyone,
I would like to describe idiomatically a schedule when a person's days-off are not always Saturday and Sunday, but can be some other days, too. I'll give an example. My brother, who lives in the suburb of Moscow, used to work in an MVideo shop (selling electronics, computers, TVs, kitchen utensils, etc.) and he was responsible for receiving goods from buyers when the goods weren't working properly. He worked 2 or 3 days and then had days-off (2 or 3 days, I don't remember exactly). Thus, the shift lasted about 9h a day and 3 days consecuitively according to the schedue.
I would call this type of working "sliding schedule" or "rolling schedule". Is that correct?
