Abstract
This paper presents a model in which the work schedule results from the equilibrium
between the firm’s decision and workers’ preferences. A technology
which organises the inputs in shifts has been considered for this objective, and

this context, the treatment given to the concepts of shiftwork and workday are
key innovations. The existence or not of capital This paper presents a model in which the work schedule results from the equilibrium

which organises the inputs in shifts has been considered for this objective, and
the workers’ preferences are defined over the diferent feasible work-days. In
this context, the treatment given to the concepts of shiftwork and workday are
key innovations. The existence or not of capital constraints, the "fatigue"
efect, and the preferences regarding leisure determine the amount of inputs
