Rostering

Rostering App for Shift-Based Teams in Ireland

Building a staff roster is key to workforce management and it should not take up your evening. Our rostering app, supplied by partner Bizimply, lets you plan shifts, send them to your team, and track the hours that follow. No spreadsheet, no group text thread. And when a shift pattern raises an HR question, your advisor is there to talk it through.

What You Can Do With the Rostering App

The rostering app handles two jobs. It builds the roster, and it records what actually happened on the day.

Build and Share Staff Rosters

  • Shift templates save the patterns you run over and over

  • Past schedules copy forward, so you start from last week, not a blank screen

  • Roster planning by site or department keeps multi-location teams in one view

  • Instant publishing sends upcoming shifts to your team’s phones

Clock In, Clock Out, and Track Hours

  • GPS-enabled app clock-in records where staff started and finished a shift

  • Desktop and kiosk clock-in with facial recognition and PIN suits fixed sites

  • Timesheets build from real clock-in data instead of memory

  • Working hours reports show rostered hours against worked hours before payroll runs

How Your Team Uses the Roster App Day to Day

Here is the thing. Most of the back and forth comes from staff, not managers, so the app gives them somewhere to sort it out.

  • Shift swaps go through the app, and nothing moves until a manager approves

  • Open shifts let staff pick up cover you need filled

  • Leave requests land in one place, and approved leave shows on the roster

  • Real-time chat and notifications keep shift updates out of group texts

  • E-signatures and document storage keep signed paperwork with the employee record

Rosters That Stand Up to Irish Working Time Rules

Your roster is a compliance record, not just a plan for the week. The Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 sets minimum rest and breaks, and you need records showing staff got them. Section 12 is the one employers check. At least 15 minutes once someone works more than 4 hours 30 minutes, and 30 minutes after 6 hours. 

What the App Records for You

  • Hours worked, breaks taken, and rest between shifts

  • Leave and absence against each employee

  • Working hours reports you can produce if the WRC inspects

What Your HR Advisor Looks At

  • Whether your shift patterns fit break and daily rest rules

  • How to answer a banded hours request from a member of staff

  • Whether your contracts of employment match the hours you roster

Who the Rostering App Suits

Built for shift work, not nine to five teams.

  • Shift-based teams where next week’s roster never looks like last week’s

  • Multi-site employers who want one view of staffing levels

  • Part-time and variable-hours workforces, where records matter most

  • Managers stuck in spreadsheets, chasing confirmations by text

HR Advice Behind Every Roster

You get the employee scheduling software and the advice together. We supply the rostering app through Bizimply, and your HR advisor handles the questions software cannot answer, like a shift pattern a staff member has queried.

Rostering App Frequently Asked Questions

A rostering app is software for planning staff shifts and getting them out to your team. Managers build the roster, staff checks it on their phones, and the app logs clock-in times, hours worked, and time tracking for payroll.

It does. Hours worked, breaks, and leave sit against each employee, building the working time records Irish employers are expected to keep. Your advisor can look over the pattern and flag anything that seems off.

They can, straight from their mobile app. Nothing moves until a manager approves the request, though. Once leave is approved, it shows on the roster, so you will not double-book somebody who is already off.

Yes. Staff use the app on smartphones, like Android and iOS phones, and managers can work from a desktop on the web app. Fixed sites can also clock staff in from a kiosk or desktop using facial recognition or a PIN.

We supply the rostering software and the HR advice around it. Your managers build the rosters, since they know the shift patterns. Your advisor supports the decisions behind them, such as contracted hours and leave policies.

Clock-in records build timesheets and working hours reports your payroll team can work from. Ask your advisor which export options apply, since that depends on your own setup and the payroll system you run.
