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.​
