Cyphor Asst. is a little different from Asst. (General) because they have to do the task of coding and decoding of some highly confidential language in addition. Cypher has night shifts also and has to work for 6 days. A system of 2 days off and 2 days will be night shift, so no fixed Saturday or Sunday off.
