Designed for the realities of gas work
Gas work is part shift, part standby. Someone has to be reachable at 2am whether or not anything happens, and that availability is itself a cost.

Gas shift and on-call scheduling
Rostering gas crews means scheduling two different things at once: the shift that is worked and the availability that is merely held.
Shift and standby on the same roster
Availability priced before it is committed
Schedule the shift pattern and the on-call rotation together, with the availability allowance costed as part of the roster rather than discovered in payroll.
- Schedule shift patterns and on-call rotations together
- Assign only crews holding the required competencies
- Cost availability allowances as you roster
- Track callouts against the crew who took them
Time and attendance in the field
A callout at 2am has to be recorded by the person who took it.
Attendance and callouts from the field
Mobile clock-in wherever the job is
Crews clock in on their phone at the job, with GPS confirming location, and callouts are recorded against the roster.
- GPS clock-in at each site
- Photo verification to reduce time theft
- Overnight and rotating shifts tracked accurately
- Worked hours convert straight into payroll-ready timesheets
Gas award compliance, made simpler
Penalty rates, overtime and break rules vary by day, time, employment type and shift length — and one week’s roster touches most of them.
Gas Industry Award (MA000061) — pay rates by period
| Period | Full-time & part-time | Casual |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary hours (Mon–Fri, day) | 100% | 125% |
| Afternoon shift (Mon–Fri evening) | 115% | 140% |
| Night shift (Mon–Fri, midnight–6am) | 130% | 155% |
| Saturday | 150% | 175% |
| Sunday | 200% | 225% |
| Public holiday | 250% | 275% |
Casual rates are set by the award directly, not by adding a loading to the permanent rate. Rates change each 1 July; the full breakdown by classification, junior age and allowance is in the gas award pay guide. Always verify against Fair Work.
Payroll-ready workforce data
Approved hours should reach the pay run without being re-keyed, penalties and all.

More than gas scheduling software

Gas staff scheduling FAQ
-
On-call rotations are scheduled alongside shift patterns, with the availability allowance costed as part of the roster. Callouts are recorded against the person who took them, so the difference between being available and being called out is visible in both the roster and the pay run.
-
Yes. Tickets and competencies are held against each person with expiry alerts, and crews without the required competency are not offered the tasks that need it.
