Roster compliance
What is roster compliance?
When creating a roster, they need to be compliant. This means that the roster takes into account modern award elements such as the minimum and maximum hours that employees are legally allowed to work, as well as requirements surrounding breaks during shifts and the minimum rest period between shifts.
What is roster compliance important?
Roster compliance is vitally important. This is because, when a roster is found to be non-compliant, businesses can be found in breach of modern awards and therefore, employee’s rights.
If a roster is deemed non-compliant the business may be subject to penalties such as being required to pay monetary fines and even back-pay employees with interest for each single contravention.
Is there technology businesses can use to ensure roster compliance?
Remaining compliant is key to ensuring that workplace rights are not violated and therefore, that employees can continue to remain happy and productive at work. However, adhering to elements of compliance adds another layer of complexity when it comes to creating a roster and subsequently, roster publishing.
With Roubler’s staff rostering software, there are built-in checks and measures to ensure that any roster created aligns with the relevant modern awards. These checks act as safeguards against any breaches, ensuring that managers do not build non-compliant rosters and therefore, reducing the risks associated with being found non-compliant.
