Full-time roster
What is a full-time roster?
A full-time roster lets employees who work full time – 35 or more hours per week – know what days of the week their shifts have been scheduled and at what times. Typically, full-time employees will work the same shifts during the course of a week. However, there are instances where sometimes full-time employees may be rostered on different days, such as weekends during one week of the roster cycle or just weekdays during the next week.
What are the benefits of full-time rosters?
Organisations benefit from having full-time employees in a variety of different ways. By providing the same individual with the same amount of work per week, the foundations are laid for improved productivity and greater quality of work output.
Organisations also look to full-time employees because those seeking this variety of employment are invested in staying somewhere long term. All of which can help with key organisational outcomes like improved employee retention.
By having full-time rosters in place, organisations can provide benefits to their workers. With a clear schedule it is easier for employees to make plans, something that helps with work-life balance.
How can a business manage full-time rosters?
One of the best ways to manage the creation and publication of full-time rosters is to embrace rostering software. Roubler’s online staff rostering software and app allows organisations to input key data, click a button and create and disseminate the latest roster amongst all staff.
With automatic notifications, staff can be aware of their latest shifts as soon as possible. With associated features such as shift swapping, online rostering software from Roubler can also be used to manage shift changes between employees, taking the burden off managers.
