Leave roster
What is a leave roster?
A leave roster is essentially a schedule that highlights which employees are on leave and the duration of that leave. Accessible by managers and if configured, the whole organisation, a leave roster allows for better management which positively impacts both the organisation and its workers.
Why are leave rosters important?
Leave rosters are incredibly important tools when it comes to managing staff. By making the leave roster accessible to employees throughout the organisation, there is an inherent level of transparency.
In one example, a leave roster can help employees gather when it is and isn’t appropriate to take or apply for leave based on the other data inputted into the roster.
In another example, a leave roster helps businesses work out their labour forecasting. If someone is scheduled for leave during a busy period, they can consult the calendar and add staff to the roster where needed.
How can businesses utilise leave rosters to speed up future rostering?
Creating a roster is an involved process. With Roubler’s online rostering system, different data sources are used to create a roster. This means that everything from leave and availability such as whether the employee is casual or part-time is taken into account.
Occurring within the rostering tool, this feature cuts down the time used when needing to cross-check leave data with roster data. Offering a seamless approach to rostering, this level of ease also filters into payroll as roster and attendance data can be sent straight to payroll for processing.
