The Rostering module within the payroll classic 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.
