Staff scheduling by industry

Every industry rosters against a different constraint: lifeguard cover in a pool, a duty manager in a bar, a qualified instructor for each class, a senior on every care shift. RosterElf holds those skills against each person, shows wage cost as you build, and sends approved timesheets to Xero or MYOB. Your industry page shows which award applies.

Try RosterElf free for 15 days

Roster your team, cost every shift at your award's rates and send approved timesheets to your payroll.

FAQ

Industry rostering FAQ

  • Any business that rosters shift workers. We have pages for care, hospitality, childcare, retail, fitness and recreation, entertainment, trades and community organisations, each naming its award and typical roles. If yours is not listed, the same rostering, time and attendance and payroll export apply; book a demo and we will map your award.
  • Four awards have pre-built packs you activate: Hospitality, Restaurant, Registered and Licensed Clubs, and Fast Food. General Retail is coming soon. For every other award you set the rates and rules once in the pay rate builder, and RosterElf then applies them to every shift and timesheet automatically.
  • No. RosterElf rosters your team, records their clock-ins and costs the timesheets, then sends approved hours to your payroll: Xero or MYOB in Australia, Xero UK or a CSV file in the UK, and Xero, Smartly or MYOB in New Zealand. Your payroll software still runs the pay.
  • Yes. RSA, Working with Children Checks, security licences, first aid and any other certificate can be held against each person, with automatic reminders before they expire. An expired certificate does not block rostering, so check the reminder list before you publish. Certificate tracking is part of the HR Hub, in Full Suite and the HR plan.
  • Yes. Pricing is per user per month and does not change by industry: Core is $6 billed annually or $8 monthly, Full Suite $7 or $10, and the HR plan $3 or $4, plus GST. Full Suite adds the HR Hub. Every plan has a 15-day free trial with no credit card. See pricing.
  • Start with the award and the one constraint that breaks your roster: ratios, licences, class qualifications or overnight cover. Then compare how each product handles it on a real week. Our guide to the best rostering software in Australia tests ten products side by side on the same roster.
