The rostering problem
Rosters in a spreadsheet, hours on paper.
Most Australian teams still build rosters in a spreadsheet, text the changes, then chase paper timesheets at the end of the fortnight - and payroll pays whatever arrives.
workit's rostering software builds rosters by team, site or role, publishes shifts straight to the workit app, records clock on and clock off with geofencing, and auto-generates timesheets from the hours actually worked. Managers approve in bulk and approved hours flow to payroll.
Everything in rostering & timesheets
From published shift to approved timesheet.
Rostering software, time capture and timesheet approvals - connected by default.
Roster creation
Build rosters by team, site or role in rostering software that understands your structure - copy last week's roster, fill gaps and publish in minutes.
Shift assignment
Assign shifts to the right staff based on role, location and availability, and notify them instantly through the workit app the moment the roster is published.
Clock on and clock off
Employees clock on and off from their phone, breaks are tracked automatically, and actual hours worked flow straight into timesheets - no paper sheets, no guesswork.
Geofencing
Location-based clock controls confirm staff are on site when they start and finish, so the hours captured in your rostering software match the hours actually worked.
Auto-generated timesheets
Timesheets are generated automatically from clocked time - with manual timesheet creation available whenever you need to add or correct hours.
Timesheet approvals
Managers review, edit and approve timesheets in bulk, with exceptions such as missed clock-offs, overtime and unapproved shifts flagged before approval.
Mobile-first for staff
Rosters, shift notifications, clock on/off and timesheets all live in the same mobile app employees use for leave, forms and policies.
Payroll-ready hours
Approved timesheets flow straight to your payroll system, so the hours rostered, worked and paid are the same hours.
One connected record
Rostering and timesheets sit on the same employee record as compliance, leave and HR core - so expired tickets and approved leave are visible while you roster.

FAQs
Rostering software questions, answered.
What is rostering software?
+
Rostering software lets you build and publish staff rosters, assign shifts by team, site or role, and notify employees automatically. workit's rostering software also captures clock on/off time and generates timesheets from the hours actually worked.
Does the rostering software include timesheets?
+
Yes. Timesheets are auto-generated from clocked time inside the same rostering software - no separate timesheet system, no re-keying. Manual timesheet creation is also available when you need it.
How does clock on and clock off work?
+
Employees clock on and off from their phone. Breaks are tracked automatically and the recorded time feeds directly into their timesheet, so rostered hours and actual hours are both visible in the rostering software.
What is geofencing in rostering software?
+
Geofencing applies location-based clock controls, confirming an employee is physically on site when they clock on or off. It's the simplest way to make sure the hours captured in your rostering software reflect real attendance.
Can managers approve timesheets in bulk?
+
Yes. Managers can review, edit and approve timesheets in bulk, and the rostering software flags exceptions such as missed clock-offs, overtime and unrostered shifts so they get checked before approval.
Does rostering and timesheets connect to payroll?
+
Approved timesheets flow through to your payroll system, so the hours rostered, worked and approved in the rostering software are the hours that get paid - with no double entry.
Is rostering and timesheets an extra cost?
+
No. Rostering and timesheets are included in your workit subscription like every other module - one platform, one software price, no per-module upgrade fees.
