Operate rota showing a week grid of shifts for each staff member, sample data

Plan the week. Approve the hours.

Rota week grid

Who works which day, in one grid. Move a shift and the person sees it.

Timesheets you approve

Hours come in from the rota or from staff. You approve them before they reach a pay run.

Leave requests

Staff ask, you say yes or no. Approved leave shows on the rota.

Public holidays

They sit on the calendar, so nobody gets rostered by mistake.

  1. 1

    Period

    Pick the week, fortnight or month you are paying for.

  2. 2

    Approved hours load in for each hourly person. Salaried staff are already set.

  3. 3

    Confirm and the run is locked. Payslips are ready to share.

Flags for unusual hours

At the review step, Operate marks hours that look off, so you check before you pay.

  • Hours far above that person's usual.
  • A shift with no end time.
  • Hours on a day of approved leave.

A flag asks a question. You decide the answer.

Jamaican payroll, worked line by line.

Here is one fortnight for one person. Every figure is shown, so you can check it with a calculator.
