Roster template shift management via the payroll platform

Available for the following Payroll Plan: Premium
Available for the following User Access levels: Manager, Admin   

The Rostering module within the payroll platform has a Template feature that allows you to create a set of pre-built employee shifts, with the ability to set up start and end times, break duration, locations, and any required roles. You can also use this feature to edit any details if they change and delete a shift, either in bulk, or individually, if it is no longer required.

Helpful Hint

A useful trick to copy individual shifts quickly is to hold the Shift key on your keyboard, click an existing shift, either published or unpublished, and then drag the field to the relevant day. The platform will copy the shift as unpublished.
