A roster (or employee schedule) is used by organisation to plan what work is required, who it needs to be performed by, and where it needs to be done. It is a shared schedule that workforce planners and employees will all reference to coordinate and complete work. 

It’s important to roster your employees so they know when they should work, what duties they should perform, and when they can take their breaks. Rostering helps to orchestrate your entire workforce so you can get work done and maximise your productivity.

Many people used to create rosters using spreadsheets. However, you can now use software like foundU to build efficient rosters that take into account each employee’s skills and leave entitlements while ensuring that you can maximise productivity and lower your wage costs. foundU helps you ensure that your schedules are compliant with employee agreements and relevant awards. You can get started using foundU’s templates and customise your roster using our easy drag and drop tools. 

You can create as many rosters as you need for the different locations, venues, sites, or clients that you service.

You can let employees know when shifts are created, changed, made available, or cancelled via SMS, email, or push notifications. They can also accept or decline shift offers via these communication methods.
