...which, considering his schedule of one 24 hour shift every four days, was far from necessary
I think it's important to end the sentence like this, as it emphasizes the point questioning the leave.

A vacation not worth taking with the work schedule as it is - 1 round-the-clock shift followed by 3 days off (or 1 out of each four)

Apparently the speaker means some short vacation that does not feel like real one anyway since he routinely gets 3 days off after working his 24-hour shift.

a vacation he could have done without with his current schedule of a 24 hour shift every three days
I am not particularly happy with my own translation of sutki cherez troe, but I think it sounds the most authentic of all the other versions suggested so far. Hopefully, someone can do better. As a variant - hey, why the heck not? - how about " ... with his current schedule of 24/72"?

: In view of new comments - correct. As long as you can play one filling out the invoice - who cares:-)

I stand corrected, m'am. I've never been a numbers guy, I guess that's how I got to become a translator. Thanks for your comment.
