What's included in the Core, Full Suite, and HR plans
RosterElf has three subscription plans: Core, Full Suite, and HR. Each plan is billed per active staff member — see the pricing page for current rates. This article breaks down exactly what each plan includes, feature by feature, so you can pick the right one for your business.
1. Core plan
Core is built around rostering and time and attendance. It includes:
- Smart rostering and staff availability
- Time and attendance with GPS and photo proof
- Timesheet approvals
- Award interpretation
- Payroll-ready exports to Xero and MYOB
- Labour cost forecasting
- Team communication and shift swaps
- Leave management with approvals
Leave management is included on Core — you don’t need Full Suite or HR Hub to let staff request leave and managers approve it.
2. Full Suite plan
Full Suite includes everything in Core, plus HR Hub:
- HR Hub with employee profiles
- Digital onboarding and contracts
- Policies, certificates, and compliance tracking
- Workwise AI compliance assistant
- Central document storage and management
Full Suite is for businesses that want rostering, payroll, and HR management in one system.
3. HR plan
HR is HR Hub on its own, without rostering or time and attendance:
- HR Hub with employee profiles
- Digital onboarding workflows
- Contracts and policy management
- Certificates and compliance tracking
- Workwise AI compliance assistant
- Leave management with approvals
- Document storage
HR suits businesses that already handle rostering elsewhere but want structured onboarding, HR records, and leave tracking.

Frequently asked questions
1. Is leave management included in the Core plan?
Yes — leave management (staff leave requests, approvals, and balance visibility) is included on every RosterElf plan: Core, Full Suite, and HR. You don’t need Full Suite or HR Hub to manage staff leave.
2. What is the difference between Core, Full Suite, and HR?
Core covers rostering, time and attendance, award interpretation, payroll-ready exports, and leave management. Full Suite includes everything in Core plus HR Hub — onboarding, contracts, policies, certificates, and the Workwise AI compliance assistant. HR is HR Hub on its own, for businesses that already have rostering elsewhere but want structured HR and leave tracking.
3. Does HR Hub include rostering or time and attendance?
No. The HR plan is HR Hub only — onboarding, contracts, policies, certificates, and leave management. It doesn’t include rostering, time and attendance, award interpretation, or payroll exports. If you need those, choose Core or Full Suite.

Yes. See changing your subscription plan for the rules on when monthly and annual plan changes take effect.
