Features

  • Rostering and Staff Scheduling FeaturesRostering, wage cost estimates, clock in from a phone, timesheet approvals, leave, swaps and Xero sync. Everything between the roster and payroll.
  • Staff Scheduling Software and Roster AppStaff scheduling for an Australian small business: copy last week, check availability and wage costs, then publish the roster to every employee's phone.
  • Roster Cost Planning and Wage EstimatesSet your own rates and weekend and public holiday loadings, and every shift shows its estimated cost as you build the week. Estimates, not award advice.
  • Time Clock App for EmployeesA time clock app that runs in the browser on any phone, with an optional photo and a distance check against the venue. Nothing to download.
  • Timesheet App and ApprovalsWorked hours are compared with the roster. Missing clock outs and differences go to the top, and the rest approve together, ready for Xero or a CSV.
  • Rostering App for Xero PayrollConnect Xero through its own sign in, import your employees and send approved hours when the week closes. MYOB is coming soon. Pay calculations stay in payroll.
  • Leave Request App for StaffStaff request leave from their phone and you approve or decline it. Approved leave shows on the roster. Leave balances stay in your payroll system.
  • Shift Swap App for StaffA staff member offers a shift to a workmate with a reason. The workmate accepts, a manager approves, and only then does the roster change.
  • Staff Availability App for RostersStaff keep their own availability by the hour, as a weekly pattern and for particular dates. Clashes show on the roster with the reason while you build it.
  • Time and Attendance Software AustraliaRostered against worked hours, late starts, no shows and sick days over four weeks, twelve weeks or a year, with the same figures on your screen and theirs.
  • Public Holiday Roster PlanningPick your state or territory and its public holidays are in the calendar, Easter included. Add local days, and holiday shifts are costed at the rate you set.
  • Work Rights Records and Roster WarningsStaff record their visa, its expiry and any hours limit, and the roster warns you before a student fortnight goes over. A reminder, not a VEVO check.
  • Shift Cover App and RemindersReminders go out before each shift at the interval you set. When somebody does not turn up, cover suggestions are ranked by availability and punctuality.
  • Open Shift App: Offer Shifts to StaffSend an unfilled shift to the staff who are free, trained and inside their hours. They put their hand up on their phone, and you decide who gets it.
  • Rostering and Attendance ReportsRostered against worked hours per person and per venue, lateness, missed shifts, leave taken, and every payroll send. Exportable, with no pay figures in it.
  • Multi Location Rostering SoftwareEach venue has its own roster, staff and clock in radius, people can work at several, and totals add up across them all. No per location fee on any plan.
  • Roster Permissions and Staff RecordsOwner, manager and employee roles, staff profiles with contact details and photos, two step sign in, and an audit trail of who changed what and why.
