They wanted something like: Person A \u2192 Gap \u2192 Person B. So, we built it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gaps let you insert an empty slot into a rotation.<\/strong> When a gap occurs, the next layer automatically steps in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Layer 1:<\/strong> Daman rotates daily with a gap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Layer 2:<\/strong> Kaushik rotates daily<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Daman\u2019s gap comes up, Kaushik takes over. Coverage stays intact without any manual adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can add a gap directly when editing a layer. The calendar preview shows exactly when gaps fall and who fills them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gaps also reduce alert fatigue.<\/strong> If your escalation policy alerts both a person and a Slack channel, alerts that occur during a gap go only to the channel. The team still sees the alert, but no one gets paged unnecessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"scheduled-layers\">Scheduled Layers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" data-attachment-id=\"4483\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/introducing-a-more-flexible-oncall-schedule\/scheduled-oncall-layers-rectangle\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scheduled-oncall-layers-rectangle.png\" data-orig-size=\"2221,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"scheduled-oncall-layers-rectangle\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scheduled-oncall-layers-rectangle-1024x498.png\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scheduled-oncall-layers-rectangle-1024x498.png\" alt=\"Scheduled on-call layers\" class=\"wp-image-4483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scheduled-oncall-layers-rectangle-1024x498.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scheduled-oncall-layers-rectangle-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scheduled-oncall-layers-rectangle-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scheduled-oncall-layers-rectangle-1536x747.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scheduled-oncall-layers-rectangle-2048x996.png 2048w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scheduled-oncall-layers-rectangle-1200x584.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On-call Layers now support start and end dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you need to set up holiday coverage now that automatically kicks in on December 25th and disappears after New Year&#8217;s,&nbsp;then you can make that happen!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every layer now has a&nbsp;&#8220;Set duration&#8221;&nbsp;option. Spike automatically activates the layer on the start date and deactivates it after the end date. No manual activation needed. Both start and end dates are optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You can also schedule layers that start or end in the future.<\/strong> Create a layer today that kicks in on January 5th, 2026. Pre-configure and save, that&#8217;s it. You are all set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an addition to Spike&#8217;s existing work-life balance features like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.spike.sh\/alerts\/personal-alerts-management\/deep-work-and-cooldown-modes#:~:text=incident%20response%20quality.-,Deep%20Work%20Mode,-Deep%20Work%20Mode\">Deep Work<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.spike.sh\/alerts\/personal-alerts-management\/deep-work-and-cooldown-modes#:~:text=a%20single%20click.-,Cooldown%20Mode,-Cooldown%20Mode%20is\">Cooldown<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.spike.sh\/alerts\/personal-alerts-management\/out-of-office\">Out of Office<\/a>&nbsp;modes. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scheduled Layers&nbsp;are available on Business plans and above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"introducing-day-in-handoff\">Introducing Day in Handoff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"4485\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/introducing-a-more-flexible-oncall-schedule\/handoff-day-rectangle\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/handoff-day-rectangle.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"handoff-day-rectangle\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/handoff-day-rectangle-1024x576.png\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/handoff-day-rectangle-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Handoff days\" class=\"wp-image-4485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/handoff-day-rectangle-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/handoff-day-rectangle-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/handoff-day-rectangle-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/handoff-day-rectangle-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/handoff-day-rectangle-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/handoff-day-rectangle.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously, your handoff day on a weekly rotation was tied to the day on-call was created. This means if you set up on-call on Wednesday, then handoffs happen every Wednesday. Always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We built&nbsp;Handoff Days&nbsp;to change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You can now choose which day of the week your on-call rotation should switch\u2014every Monday, every Tuesday, and so on.<\/strong> This gives you control over when handoffs happen, instead of tying them to the day the schedule was originally created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s backward compatible as well, so you can add handoff days to your existing schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"templates-and-holiday-calendars\">Templates and Holiday Calendars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also added two features designed to save you time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ready-to-Use Schedule Templates:<\/strong>\u00a0When creating a new layer, you&#8217;ll see four pre-built templates: <strong>Weekday Layer<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Weekend Layer<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Night Shift<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Business Hours<\/strong>. Click one, and the time ranges and rotation patterns are already configured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Holiday Calendar Integration:<\/strong>\u00a0Add your company&#8217;s holiday calendar to Spike, and holidays display directly on your on-call calendar. This gives you visual reference while building schedules so you can spot conflicts early. <em>There are plans on bringing automation here.

These new features simply give more flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve been testing these features internally and our team got creative and literally spelled
