12-h-on/36-h-off shift
Explanation:
This type of shift is not common in the US, contrary to Brazil.

The worker would work for 12 h, so "12-h-on" and then rest for 36, hence the "36-h-off."

Since this is in a contract, using "hours" instead of just "h" might be advisable.

agree  Oliver Simões: For lack of a better term, “shift” (turno) will do. The use of “shift” is fundamental to give the phrase an approximate meaning.
