Everything you need to roster a New Zealand team

RosterElf features FAQ
- All of them. Rostering, time and attendance, HR and payroll export are the same product New Zealand and Australian customers use — what differs is the pay rules applied, which come from your employment agreements rather than an award.
- Yes. The trial gives you every feature so you can build a real roster with your own team, clock people in against it, and see the hours that would export to payroll before deciding anything.
- Core features work the same for 5 staff or 500, and multi-site rostering supports unlimited locations from one view.
