How is RosterElf Core pricing calculated for my team?

RosterElf Core is billed per active employee each month, so if you add or remove staff your subscription scales with your roster size, and you can forecast the total cost by planning shifts in the labour budgeting feature.

What changes in price when I move from RosterElf Core to Core plus HR Hub?

The Core plan is priced at a lower per employee rate, while Core plus HR Hub costs more per active staff member but unlocks extra HR tools for managing rostering and HR workflows together.

How does RosterElf with HR Hub compare in cost to using separate tools like Tanda or Square Shifts?

Other providers often charge separate fees for rostering, attendance and HR, while RosterElf bundles these into one per-employee price with features like auto scheduling.

Is RosterElf good value if my staffing levels change a lot during the year?

Because you are charged per active employee rather than a fixed venue fee, seasonal businesses can scale their costs up or down while keeping rosters flexible with tools like open shifts.

Does RosterElf charge different prices for casual, part time and full time workers?

Pricing is based on how many people you actively roster, not their employment type, and wage spend can be controlled using roster warnings.

Are time and attendance tools included in both RosterElf Core and Core plus HR Hub?

Yes, time and attendance is included across all plans, and staff can clock in using the kiosk time clock.

Do I pay extra for GPS clock ins when I am already paying per employee each month?

GPS and geofencing are included features, so staff can use GPS clock-ins without an added software fee.

Can better time and attendance tracking help offset the cost of upgrading to Core plus HR Hub?

Accurate time capture helps budget labour and avoid overpayment, and combined with HR features provides clearer savings via real-time attendance data.

Will I need to budget for extra software if I want photo proof at clock in?

Photo capture is built in, so staff can take a selfie at clock-in without needing a separate verification system.

How does using digital time clocks affect my overall cost compared with cheap punch card systems?

Traditional punch cards appear cheaper but hide wage creep and manual admin, while a per-employee subscription with tools like the tablet-based kiosk time clock reduces errors and processing time.

Are payroll integrations available on both pricing plans or only on the more expensive one?

Payroll integrations are available across all plans so you can send approved hours directly to payroll.

If I already pay for Xero, why would I also pay for RosterElf each month?

Xero handles accounting and payroll, while RosterElf manages rostering and attendance before passing accurate timesheets into Xero.

Does connecting my MYOB file to RosterElf attract any extra software charges?

No separate licence is required, and once staff are covered under your plan you can send approved hours into MYOB via integration.

Can automatic award interpretation help justify the higher price of Core plus HR Hub?

Automated award interpretation reduces admin time and errors by mapping penalty rates and loadings directly into payroll.

Is it cheaper to keep separate add ons for rostering and payroll instead of using RosterElf?

Multiple tools often come with several minimum fees, while RosterElf combines rostering, attendance and payroll exports into one subscription.

How can better communication tools help me get more value from what I pay for RosterElf?

Clear communication reduces no-shows and overtime, and much of this can be handled directly within the employee team chat app.

Does using in app updates instead of SMS help keep messaging costs down?

You can post updates in RosterElf without relying on paid SMS, using the internal news feed to avoid extra messaging fees.

Is there any difference in communication features between Core and Core plus HR Hub pricing tiers?

Both plans include built-in communication tools so teams can stay informed about rosters and HR updates.

Does using communication tools affect which employees I am billed for each month?

Billing is based on active employees, and those staff can use communication tools without any additional licence.

If my team mainly needs messaging and shift updates, is the cheaper Core plan usually enough?

Many businesses use Core for rostering and basic communication, adding HR Hub later if their needs grow.

Which HR tasks can I move into RosterElf if I choose the Core plus HR Hub plan?

Core plus HR Hub supports tasks like collecting staff details, documents and forms via guided onboarding workflows.

Is the lower yearly price for Core plus HR Hub worth it if I mainly struggle with staff leave?

Yearly billing lowers the per-employee rate, and leave management becomes easier through the integrated leave management feature.

How can HR Hub features around licences and certificates reduce the risk of expensive compliance problems?

Centralised tracking of expiry dates and required certifications makes it easier to roster only qualified staff.

Is Workwise AI included when I pay for the Core plus HR Hub plan?

Yes, Workwise AI is included in HR Hub and provides guidance on workplace questions through the AI compliance bot.

Can HR Hub replace some of the separate HR software subscriptions I currently pay for?

Core plus HR Hub allows you to manage contracts, policies and HR records in one place, potentially replacing other HR tools.
