Work Rotas - fulfil your labour needs
Transparency for you managers and employees
Plan, prepare, optimise with Work Rotas
Planning employee shifts can be the bane of a manager's life. It might sound overly dramatic, but juggling the task of meeting employee and, most importantly, business needs can seem impossible.
Dealing with multiple shifts, variable workers, swapped shifts, compliance issues, sickness, holiday and more can make it feel like you're never on top of who's in work.
And if you're having to do this all on a spreadsheet (or even worse a physical paper calendar), then you deserve a medal.
Rotas are very simple to manage in the system and it is able to cope with many different working patterns.

Why do you need to digitise your work rotas?
A work rotas core functionality is to help you make sure you have the right people, in the right place, at the right time.
If you know the who, when, why, you have a base to make sure this happens. A time and attendance system can simply track hours if that's all you need, but with a work rota telling the system what needs to happen, time and attendance software can track and report on exceptions, labour costs and so much more.
Our rota functionality enables you to ditch time-consuming spreadsheets and plan your workforce in the way that you need. It's all done through our easy-to-use system in a few clicks, and rotas can be made years in advance if you know the hours you need are constant.
Best of all, if you did need to change your rota, for whatever reason, changes can be made in just a few clicks, and the system will automatically flag employees who are unavailable to fill shift slots.
WFM by Chronologic has been designed to be as user-friendly as possible, giving you the critical information you need in a readable and exportable way.
