From planned shifts to actual hours
Review the work before approving the hours.
After service, compare recorded clock-in, clock-out and breaks with the planned shift. Resolve exceptions before approving hours for payroll.
A roster records the plan. A timesheet records attendance. Keep that distinction clear when reviewing changes and preparing a payroll export.

Questions from hospitality teams.
Can I roster more than one venue?
Yes. Organisation locations let you organise shifts and attendance across venues in one workspace.
How are roster wage projections calculated?
Projections use the scheduled shifts, assigned staff and configured pay rates. Review your rate setup, award coverage and any additional on-costs with your payroll adviser.
Can staff request a shift swap?
Yes, when the organisation enables the Swap Board. Managers review requests before roster assignments change.
