Shifts and roster

Shift and roster software, one week on one screen.

Set your shift timings once, give each person a weekly off and plan the week in a grid. Copy last week when nothing has changed, and allow a swap when two people ask.

How it works

Timings, days off and the week.

The app is called Shifts and Roster. It has four screens.

Part

What happens

Where in the app

Shift timings

Each shift has a name, a start, an end, a break in minutes and a "late after" in minutes. A night shift can end the next morning. One shift is the usual one.

Shifts

Weekly off

One day off each week, chosen for each person. It does not have to be Sunday.

Weekly offs

The week roster

A grid of people and days. You change a box, press Save roster, and every box you did not touch follows the usual shift and the weekly off.

This week

Swaps

Two people exchange a day. The request waits for a yes; when it is allowed, they take each other's shift for that one day.

Swap requests; also Approvals

Waiting

A swap changes the roster only after you allow it.

The sample is Umiya Engineering Works, Ahmedabad, the one demo company on this site.

The week

Plan only what is different.

Most weeks look like the week before. So the roster starts from the usual shift and each person's weekly off, and you change only the days that are different.

Copy last week brings the whole of the week before onto this one.

Week before and Week after move through the calendar.

A person on approved leave is marked on that day of the roster.

Days in a month whose salary is locked are shown but cannot change.

A month, start to finish

Shifts, offs, the grid, swaps.

A straight answer

What it does, and what it does not.

What it does

Keeps as many shifts as you need, day or night.

Gives each person their own weekly off.

Shows a whole week for the whole team on one screen.

Copies a week forward and leaves locked days as they are.

Keeps a list of the swaps allowed earlier.

What it does not do

It does not plan the roster for you. You choose who works when.

It does not mark attendance. Who came is marked in Today.

It does not add a night shift allowance.

It does not take swap requests from a worker's phone today. You or a manager enter them.

It does not send the roster to staff by itself.
