Is It Legal to Rotate Worker Shifts Every 2 Weeks? Seeking Clarity on Shift Scheduling

sureshvermahr
Our production head wants to rotate the shifts of workers every 2 weeks. For example, if a worker is assigned to the A shift, they will remain on that shift for 2 weeks before rotating. A weekly day off is provided after 6 days of work. Therefore, my question is whether rotating shifts every 2 weeks is legally permissible?
