WorkRoster - Staff Roster App

WorkRoster is a staff roster app for shift teams. Check your roster, get shift reminders, share your availability, and request leave from your phone. Managers can add, edit and repeat shifts on the go, and build the full roster on the web.

A roster on paper or in a spreadsheet goes out of date as soon as something changes, and staff end up asking who is working. WorkRoster gives your team one up-to-date work roster to check on their phones. When a shift changes, the people on it get a notification, and staff get a reminder before each shift starts.

What staff can do:
Sign in with the same details you use on the website. From the app, you can:
• See your upcoming shifts and tap one for the details
• Get a notification when one of your shifts changes
• Get a reminder before each shift starts
• Set your availability for each day
• Accept or decline new shifts, or show interest in one
• Send a leave request
• Read memos and reply to them
• Chat with the team, or message a manager privately
• Call, text or email a colleague from their profile
• Add your shifts to Google Calendar with a private feed (Google can take up to a day to show a change)

Managers choose what their staff can see and do, including whether staff see the whole roster or only their own shifts. Choose which notifications you get under Settings, in the app's menu.

For managers away from the desk:
WorkRoster is also a simple shift planner for the changes that can't wait until you're back at a computer:
• Add a shift, with breaks, a title and notes
• Repeat shifts into future weeks
• Assign staff, clients and resources, or take them off a shift
• Confirm draft shifts and leave requests
• Copy a whole day of shifts
• Add leave and sick days
• Send a memo to your staff
• Add a new employee, take their photo with the phone's camera and send them an invitation

Building a new roster from scratch is easier on a bigger screen, so use the roster planner on the workroster.com website. Anything you change in the app shows there straight away, because both use the same roster.

Who uses WorkRoster:
WorkRoster is used by thousands of businesses. It suits any team that works in shifts, including home care, cleaning, security, hospitality, retail, health and leisure. Keep one roster or several, for example one for each site or department.

"The Availabilities function has made creating the roster a breeze."
