As an organisation, you may base your staffing hours care of a rota system whereby you allocate employees' certain hours they need to work per week based on workload demands. By using rota software, you can take the heavy administration out of this process for your managers, freeing up their time to work on more important areas, such as managing and supporting their employees.
The rota feature is a labour planning feature that allows you to set shift requirements for your staff and assign employees to those shifts. You can also use this feature to share rota shifts with your staff and to manage their availability settings.
Important
This feature on Payroll classic is not available for users under the following plans: Employment Lite, Employment Plus, and Employment Unlimited. Instead, you need to use the Rota feature on the Employment Hero platform.
