Rostering shift costs and budgets

Overview

As an organisation, you may base your staffing hours of a rostering system whereby you allocate employees' certain hours they need to work per week based on workload demands. By using rostering software, you can take the heavy administration out of this process for your managers, freeing up their time to work on more import areas such as managing and supporting their employees.

The Rostering module within the Payroll platform has a Budgeting feature that allows you to create a budget that you can use to manage shift costs within your organisation. You can also use this feature to edit the costing information if they change and delete a record if it is no longer required.
