You can save templates, copy rosters across days and weeks, and automate many of the mundane features of rostering.
To save you the trouble of building a staff schedule manually in Google Sheets we’ve kept our Free Advanced Roster Template as an Excel (*.xlsx) file that you can easily upload. Once uploaded to Google Sheets you can create your rosters and send out links for all your team to check.
Well free doesn’t get you far these days but our PDF and Excel staff rosters are pretty great. Probably the best free employee scheduling tool you will find. If, however you’re looking for something more powerful without the big fixed monthly costs of other Rostering Software providers why not try RosterElf? There’s no minimum spend, no lock in contracts, and no hidden costs. We can guarantee that time it saves alone will more than compensate for the very affordable price!
It certainly is, we started out Rostering staff in Excel long before the idea of RosterElf came about. Over the years we perfected our Roster Templates and added features that allowed us to track costs and manage budgets. When RosterElf launched we thought people would still benefit from our experience, so we decided to give away the Roster Template as a free download.
Sure is, we’ve auto formatted it to easily print on an A4 page, but you can also easily save the file as a PDF to send out to the staff. If, however you’re tired of emailing staff the rosters or juggling staff availability come and try a free 15-day trial of RosterElf our staff apps on iOS and Android paired with our online rostering portal make the job a breeze.
It will work as a Shift Roster Calculator, a Weekly Duty Roster Calculator, Hospitality Roster Calculator, a Health Roster Calculator and more. And if you find that it needs to do more just let us know. Our team of experts are great at solving complex scheduling problems and would love to help. Just let us know by getting in touch here.
Our Free Roster Templates are both suitable for the creation of 24/7 Shift Rosters. Simply download the pack, choose between the Simple or Advanced template, and start creating your 24x7 Rosters.
