Shift roster

Plan who works which shift each day of the week, give weekly offs, and let everyone know.

If your people don't all work the same hours every day, use the roster. It's a simple grid: people down the side, the seven days across the top.

Planning a week

  1. Go to Attendance Management → Shift Roster.
  2. Pick the week with the arrows. Filter by branch or department if you have many people.
  3. In each cell choose a shift, Off, or Usual (their normal shift).
  4. Shortcuts: Whole week… under a name fills that person's week, and Set for all… under a day fills that day for everyone shown.
  5. Tick Email people their shifts and click Save.

Next week, click Copy last week and only change what's different.

What the roster changes

  • Punches and mobile check-ins are judged against the rostered shift for that day (late marks, overtime).
  • Automatic attendance uses the rostered shift, and skips Off days.
  • An Off day counts as a weekly off for leave, so it isn't deducted as leave.
  • A shift rostered on someone's usual weekly off makes it a working day.

Employees see their next two weeks in My Policies.

Not working?

The shift list is empty. Add shifts first in Attendance Management → Shifts.

A person is missing from the grid. Only active employees are shown. Check the branch and department filters too.

Someone was marked late though they were on the early shift. The roster for that day was saved after the punch was processed. Edit that day in Attendance Records, and the late mark is worked out again.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to roster everyone?

No. Anyone you leave on "Usual" keeps their normal shift.

Can employees swap shifts themselves?

Not yet. HR changes the roster and saves; the people affected get an email.
