The Role feature allows you to create a rota group, such as front-of-house serving staff, that you can then assign to your employees when entering their shift details. You can also use this feature to edit the role details if they change and delete a record if it is no longer required. This feature is limited to employee rotas, and does not carry over into any other part of the platform. However, employees can see their assigned role when they login to view the rota.

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.
