Simplify managing staff availability by putting the responsibility on employees to update their work hours and leave requests directly in the system.
Staff easily submit availability
Streamline leave requests
Apps for both staff and managers
RosterElf makes it easy for employees to set when they can and can’t work — so managers always roster the right people at the right times
Employees enter the days and hours they’re available to work directly from the RosterElf mobile app. They can update this anytime — perfect for casual and part-time teams.
The system automatically suggests qualified, available employees for each shift based on availability, helping you fill roles faster and avoid conflicts before publishing.
When shifts are added, RosterElf automatically prevents scheduling clashes by blocking unavailable staff and flagging potential issues before publishing.
Managers always see who’s available, who’s busy, and who’s on leave — reducing errors like double-booking or assigning unavailable staff.
No more chasing texts or spreadsheets. Availability updates sync automatically, so schedules are built faster and more accurately.
Employees control when they can work, creating fairer rosters and improving satisfaction, especially for casual or part-time teams.
When everyone keeps their availability up to date, it’s easier to fill shifts quickly — especially during busy periods or last-minute changes.
Automatic visibility of maximum hours, rest breaks, and award rules helps prevent breaches and maintains fairness across the team
With real-time availability data, RosterElf’s Perfect Match™ automatically suggests the best qualified, available employees for each shift — ensuring full coverage with less effort.
An employee availability app is a digital tool that lets staff set when they can and can’t work, helping managers build accurate, compliant rosters. Instead of chasing messages or juggling spreadsheets, employees update their own availability from a mobile or desktop app, giving managers real-time visibility into who’s available before scheduling begins.
The goal of an employee availability app is to reduce scheduling conflicts, overtime, and last-minute changes. Managers can instantly see when team members are free, on leave, or unavailable — making it easier to fill shifts fairly and efficiently. This not only saves time but also improves communication and transparency across the business.
Modern availability apps like RosterElf connect directly with rostering and time-tracking systems, so approved changes flow straight into live rosters. When staff update their hours or request time off, managers are notified immediately and can approve with a single tap.
By automating this process, availability apps help businesses stay compliant with labour laws and award conditions, while maintaining balanced workloads and happier teams. Managers gain control over staffing coverage, and employees enjoy fair, predictable schedules that fit around their personal commitments.
In short, an employee availability app keeps staff schedules aligned with real-world availability — reducing admin, avoiding gaps, and ensuring every shift is covered by the right person.
