E-Rostering & Online Employee Roster

Rostering was historically done on pen and paper. Modern companies choose a much efficient way to manage this with electronic rostering or rostering software.

Rostering software is a type of computer application that allows you to set up and manage schedules with ease. A good rota software solution will automate many of the tasks of scheduling while allowing users to amend timetables easily.

Papershift’s rostering software is incredibly easy to use and setting it up is simple. To create a rota all you need to do is pick a day or date, create rota schedules and allot eligible and available resources/employees for it.

If the roster repeats, this can be specified when setting up the roster. This can help save time by auto-populating future schedules.

An e-rostering system helps to automate the process of creating and maintaining a work schedule. By doing this, it can help increase productivity and allow a business to allocate resources better.

Creating a schedule with scheduling software is as easy as inputting tasks, their timeframes, and the staff responsible for them. Changes to tasks are as easy as clicking a few buttons and data is semi-permanent allowing its reuse. This makes setting up repeat tasks simple.

Time tracking from rosters can be maintained by old-fashioned timesheets that are filled out on the premises or written in a book. You can install clocking in machines or install digital technology tracking apps to do it for you.

Time tracking software can give greater insight into employees’ productivity and are becoming increasingly popular with business owners.

These can measure the hours spent working and also note periods of absence outside specified break times.

However, If you do use this type of time tracking technology it is a legal requirement that these records must be available for the employee to see on request.

Papershift’s Time tracking software covers these regulations. We encourage you to book a free online demo and check the possibilities.

An e-roster published just 3 or 5 days in advance, is too short a notice to employees.

It is recommended that a schedule is published at least 2 weeks in advance. It allows the flexibility for employees to make plans and arrangements for family care and routines.

We have compiled some common rota mistakes and suggestions to improve them in our detailed blog. We’d recommend it for rota managers.
