Anybody know of some free software that calculates/creates new shift rotas
to cover 24hrs x7 for 365 days of a year?
perhaps this one (I haven't tried it) - Days Off Calculator

The Days Off Calculator is the world's standard workweek optimization
software. It's easily adaptable to construction, maintenance, assembly
lines, telephone coverage, retail work, field supervision, etc.
The calculator helps you schedule work crews over the 7-day week, by
working out how many crew members can have any given pair of days off
(Saturday/Sunday, Sunday/Monday, etc.) and still fill your personnel
requirements. Tell it how many people you need each day, and it tells
you how to set up your employees' off days. The calculator can generate
a variety of reports to make the scheduling process easy.

This file - DAYS.EXE - is 550K in size. It includes Version 2.2 of the
Days Off Calculator, and its companion program, the Days Off Reporter.
These programs require Microsoft Windows 3.1, 95, 98, Me, or later, and
will also run on Windows NT or 2000.
