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.

Connected by design

## Rostering software that knows who can work.

Because rostering sits on the same employee record as compliance, leave and HR core, you can see expired tickets, approved leave and role requirements while you build the roster - not after payroll has run.
