Open shifts
Give yourself the power to relax, select open shifts and let the rostering system work for you. Once you set an open shift with a start and finish time the system will do the following for you….

• Automatically send an email to all employees elegible based on the location, department, day, start and finish time taking into consideration leave and existing organised days off
• Keen employees will accept the shift electronically, automatically updating your data base while you are working on another project.
• Job done

Employee availability

Stop worrying about what employees can work and when, stop running spreadsheets spending hours on the phone making sure everyone is ok to work the shifts you allocated…what the rostering system can do for you….

• Let employees advise availability into the future electronically before rosters are even built, employees can access from the free app on their smartphone or login through the web.
• Employee calls in sick, no problem replace them quickly from your mobile phone even when you are not in the office.

Drag and drop functionality

Rostering should be as easy as drag and drop, move employees into the department you need on the day you need with simple drag and drop functionality.  Control C and control V to easily copy and paste one day to the next.

No double ups

How many times have you screwed up the spreadsheet and ended up with to many people on shift, what about the classic, rostering an employee to work in 2 different places at the same time, anyone who has run a spreadsheet for rostering knows about this issue.

No Double ups means you cannot double up an employee into 2 locations at the same time, the system simply will not let you roster one employee into 2 different locations/departments

Employee app

With the take up of smart phones globally you would be crazy to implement traditional employee time clocks. This year I assisted a customer with 55 locations and over 500 staff, they were looking at over $75,000 just to install and configure employee fingerprint time clocks all over Australia with several locations overseas.  The customer never selected the fingerprint hardware costing $75,000 and went with our rostering solution with time and attendance configured for payroll.

A clever employee app included in the software at no additional cost will allow employees not only to sign in and sign out completely removing the cost of hardware to your business the app will also allow employees to advise availability, receive company and individual messages and tasks.

Regardless of how small your team is, a staff roster is crucial to the running operations of your business. Without rosters, confusion would arise as staff would constantly arrive and leave whenever they please, shifts would remain uncovered and there would be no indication of how long a staff member worked.

If you use a simple paper time sheet currently we all know the times written down are not the actual times. As soon as an employee is late when using paper time sheets they will write down the start time of the shift not the actual time. If the shift starts at 8:00 and the employee arrives at 8:06 they should write down 8:06 but we all know the majority of employees given the freedom will simply write 8:00

A roster puts your business in order, but instead of using an out-dated technique such as manual time sheets, there is now a simpler and faster way to prepare a staff schedule. Staff Rosters has discovered the web based rostering solution to solve the hundreds of problems Australian businesses encounter every day.

 Online rostering is a simple and straightforward web-application

Online rostering is effective, time-saving and beneficial to all involved. All changes can be emailed, sent via SMS or sent completely free with the free employee staff rosters app available on iPhone and Android to alert staff of any last minute changes or annual leave approval, and these rosters are environmentally friendly. If you have ever had to print out a new roster after every change you make, you will understand how much you will benefit from just a click of the button to change what you have originally written, saving you paper expenses and time.

Imagine the employees having the roster delivered to their own mobile phone, syncing automatically with their calendar taking into account availability.

Staff Rosters provides a roster template for all clients to revolutionise the way your business manages their staff roster. From comparing rosters against the previous week to easily viewing daily, weekly and monthly costings, there has never been a better way to schedule your staff’s time and attendance.

At the end of last year I did not get a chance to write about an experience a recent customer shared with me after going live with our solution.

Prior to selecting Time & People as the preferred rostering supplier Applied & Decorative Painting had committed to another product including paying almost $1,000 to get the system up and running.

The issues Applied & Decorative Painting encountered after sign up with an incomplete solution included…

• iPhone app promised at signup but not delivered
• Integration with Xero promised but not completed
• Could not roster staff into 2 jobs in one week

How can you possibly roster staff if you cannot roster an employee to do 2 jobs or actions in the same week, you should be able to include multiple jobs or departments in the same day!

Don’t let these issues become your issues, after several months of further promises Applied & Decorative Painting contacted Time & People, signed up for staff rosters and immediately removed all of the issues with the previous supplier.

Even today you will find many products not completed, partially completed or completed with many issues. Tell us about your existing issues today.

Book in a demonstration  and we will show you our iPhone app in action with an online live demonstration, you will also see further information about payroll integration from your rostering solution including Xero Payroll.
