From the first phone call RosterElf staff has been excellent in communicating, support and service. Especially Stacy, she went over and above to solve our problem, answer all our questions and help us set up our Pay Templates under our SCHADS Award. What a relief to know help is really a phone call away and that you won't be put through to a foreign country where the support team are unable to help you solve the problem. RosterElf is also compatable to Xero which makes timesheets and payroll so much easier. We are very happy that we made the switch to RosterElf.”
