Shifts and the weekly roster
Who is on, at what time, who is off, and — the question actually asked at seven in the morning — who is in today.
What it solves
The weekly roster is built in a spreadsheet that lives on one person's computer, and the last-minute change — the one who did not show — gets passed on by phone. When that person is off, nobody knows who was due in.
You notice it in things like these
- The roster is rebuilt from scratch every Monday even though it is almost the same as last week's.
- The night shift gets recorded wrong because it crosses midnight.
How it works
Real shifts, night shift included
A shift carries its start time, end time and break, and the ones that cross midnight are treated as what they are: one shift, not two loose days.
The week is built in bulk
You assign several days at once instead of one by one, and you can copy the previous week — which is how a roster actually gets built: the same as last week except for three changes.
"Who is in today"
That is the question asked every day and the one a roster never answers quickly. Here it is one screen: who is on, on which shift, and who is off.

What it needs first
Staff already registered as employees: the roster is built on that list.

What it does not do yet
The limits, told by us
- It says who was due in, not who turned up: there is no time clock or attendance control.
