Employee rostering for pet stores
Match skills and availability to demand

Costed schedules reduce admin and keep coverage balanced across grooming, retail, and animal care.
Time & attendance for pet stores
Payroll-ready timesheets without disputes
Replace paper timesheets with digital time & attendance. Staff clock in and out via mobile or kiosk with GPS and photo verification.
Approved hours flow into payroll-ready timesheets, reducing disputes and supporting compliance for casual, part-time, and full-time staff.
Payroll integration for pet stores
Fast, accurate pay runs
Approved timesheets sync directly to payroll with allowances, overtime, and penalties applied automatically.
Integration with Xero and MYOB ensures staff are paid correctly and on time while maintaining compliance with retail awards.
Leave management for pet stores
Plan around holidays, training, and vet visits
Staff request leave in the app and managers approve with one tap.
Leave management updates rosters automatically so retail, grooming, and animal care roles stay covered during holidays, <a href="/glossary/sick-leave">sick leave</a>, or training days.
Mobile apps for pet store teams
Reduce no-shows and improve reliability
Managers publish rosters instantly, and staff receive mobile alerts.
Employees can confirm availability, swap shifts, accept open shifts, and receive urgent updates from their phone.
HR compliance for pet stores
Grooming, animal handling, first aid
HR tools store grooming certifications, animal handling training, and first-aid records with automated expiry reminders.
