duty roster
Explanation:
Duty roster is used in the British armed forces for menial barrack-cleaning duties such a cleaning the toilets or "bogs", polishing the floor etc., and according to Google seems to be used in other walks of life too.

First verse of RAF song (to tune of "Good King Wenceslas")

Sergeant Wenceslas looked out,
On the Feast of Stephen,
As the guard stood round about,
Blanco crisp and even.
Loudly swore the Sarge that night,
Like a London coster,
When he found one airman was
Missing from the ro-os-ter.
