 ## Pay and shift schedules
 
 `MakeACalendar::Scheduling.pay_dates` supports weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly dates. Weekend/holiday adjustments must be selected explicitly with `:none`, `:following`, `:preceding`, or `:modified_following`. The library does not assume one employer's payday convention.
 
-`shift_dates` accepts a repeating list such as `[2, 2, 3]` or `"2-2-3"`; entries alternate on-duty and off-duty blocks, beginning on duty. Results are date labels only and do not represent hours worked or a fixed-length UTC shift across daylight-saving changes.

Results are date labels only and do not represent hours worked or a fixed-length UTC shift across daylight-saving changes. The browser-based [date tools](https://make-a-calendar.com/date-tools) also include planning calculators for people who do not need Ruby integration.
 
 ## Retail fiscal calendars
 
-`MakeACalendar.fiscal_calendar(year: 2029, pattern: :four_four_five)` uses the Sunday nearest February 1. The default label is the ending year, so a fiscal year labeled 2029 starts in 2028. `:four_four_five`, `:four_five_four`, and `:five_four_four` are supported. A 53rd week is assigned to period 12 by default; use `extra_week: :first_period` to assign it to period 1. This is one documented convention, not a claim that every company's accounting calendar matches it.

 ## Converters
 
-`MakeACalendar::Converters` includes Unix seconds/milliseconds/microseconds/nanoseconds with rational arithmetic, Excel 1900 and 1904 serial dates, Windows FILETIME, ISO-8601 timestamps that require an explicit offset, and unambiguous `YYYY-DDD` / `YYYYDDD` ordinal dates. Excel 1900 serial 60 raises because it represents Excel's fictitious 1900-02-29. Two-digit ordinal years and historical Julian calendar conversions are not inferred.

-Gregorian civil dates are represented by Ruby `Date`. Month grids use Sunday-first or Monday-first ordering. ISO weeks and week-years follow Ruby's ISO calendar fields. The standard `Date` implementation defines the supported range; invalid dates and invalid month values raise errors.

Payroll dates and fiscal-week policies are configurable where the library has a defined option. PDF/PNG generation, time-zone-aware timed events, state holidays, and astronomical/historic calendar systems are outside 0.1.0.
