Employee rostering for dental clinics
Balance availability and appointments
Dental clinics juggle dentists, hygienists, assistants, and receptionists with unique availability needs. RosterElf's drag-and-drop tools enable real-time costing and skill-based matching via Perfect Match AI.
Create roster templates for recurring patterns, manage shift swaps between qualified staff, and ensure you always have the right mix of skills for each surgery and reception shift.
Time & attendance for dental clinics
Digital timesheets for compliance
Mobile and tablet clock-ins with photo verification flow directly into payroll-ready timesheets. Reduce disputes over hours worked and cut admin time.
GPS geofencing ensures staff are on-site when clocking in. RosterElf flags variances between rostered and actual hours so managers can review before approving.
Payroll integration for dental clinics
Award interpretation simplified
Direct connections to Xero and MYOB automatically apply dental award rules, calculating penalty rates and overtime correctly. Reduce errors and admin time.
Approved timesheets sync with one click. No manual calculations, no spreadsheets, and no re-keying data. Payroll is faster, more accurate, and fully auditable.
Leave management for dental clinics
Leave requests without disruption
Staff request leave through the app, and practice managers approve with full visibility of surgery and reception coverage. No more back-and-forth emails.
Approved leave syncs instantly to rosters, preventing double-bookings across chairs and reception. Managers see availability in real time when building schedules.
Mobile apps for dental teams
Rosters on the go
Staff view rosters, receive shift updates, and confirm attendance from their phones. Push notifications reduce no-shows and last-minute surprises.
Shift swap requests happen in-app. Practice managers approve with one tap, knowing qualifications and availability are already checked.
Employee chat for dental practices
Keep work chat professional
Secure in-app messaging keeps work communication separate from personal channels. Shift notes and patient preparation info stay organised and accessible.
Message individuals or the whole team directly. No more relying on personal group chats for practice updates.
Certificates & permits for dental clinics
Track dental registrations and training
Centralised staff records with automated expiry reminders for dentist registrations, radiation licences, and infection-control certifications. Never miss a renewal.
RosterElf prevents rostering staff with expired credentials. Stay audit-ready with complete digital records — no more chasing paperwork or spreadsheets.
Employee onboarding for dental staff
New hires ready from day one
Digital contracts, policies, and induction forms sent before their first shift. New staff complete paperwork on their phone, reducing admin burden.
Collect tax file declarations, superannuation details, and emergency contacts in one place. Staff arrive ready to work, not fill out forms.
Workwise AI for dental HR
Instant answers to HR questions
Dental awards and Fair Work rules can be complex. Workwise AI provides instant HR guidance, from penalty rates to shift entitlements.
Reduce reliance on external advisors for routine questions. Confident decisions backed by up-to-date compliance guidance.
