RosterElf Launches New Reports Section

5 min read · February 24, 2018 Myri Enolpe

RosterElf is excited to announce the launch of our new Reports section. This section provides businesses with powerful insights into workforce management, including efficient rostering payroll solutions. We developed this feature with valuable input from hundreds of our customers. Their feedback helped shape the features and layout of the reports. We listened to your needs and are eager to provide tools that streamline workforce management processes and increase efficiency.

The new Reports section includes three essential reports: Availability, rostering & payroll, and Staff. These reports offer actionable data, helping you make informed decisions about your staff roster, manage employee shift schedules, and track work hours more efficiently.

Whether you're assessing employee availability, simplifying payroll management, or managing time off requests, this feature has you covered. Stay tuned as we continue to enhance this functionality with additional reports.

Availability report: optimise your workforce scheduling

Understanding employee availability is one of the most crucial elements of effective rostering and workforce management. Knowing when your team members are available to work is critical for managing shifts effectively and ensuring you have the right coverage. This reduces the risk of overbooking or under-staffing, which impacts productivity and employee satisfaction.

Accurately tracking availability helps businesses optimise their work roster, enhance operational efficiency, and prevent disruptions in service delivery. Using rostering software can make this process seamless, eliminating manual tracking errors and providing a clear view of employee availability in real time.

How the availability report improves rostering efficiency

Our Availability report simplifies tracking employee availability over a specific period. The data is displayed using colour-coded bars, making it easy to see when employees are:

  • Available
  • On leave
  • Unavailable

This visual format enhances clarity and helps you identify scheduling gaps at a glance. By tracking leave requests and managed time, you can further enhance scheduling accuracy, reducing conflicts and ensuring your workforce is effectively distributed.

A key feature of this report is the ability to filter data by date range and site, allowing for more precise insights into availability across different locations. This ensures better rostering decisions, especially when managing multiple sites. By filtering availability per site, you can avoid over-scheduling staff or missing critical shifts, leading to improved resource allocation and minimised operational disruptions.

The report also provides a percentage availability score for each employee. This score gives a quick overview of an employee's availability, saving time compared to sifting through individual data points. It’s especially useful for identifying when additional resources may be needed or when shifts can be optimised for peak demand.

Why availability tracking is vital for rostering

Our Availability report offers unparalleled visibility into your staff roster. By providing a comprehensive view of availability, businesses can prevent over-scheduling during peak times or under-staffing during quieter periods. This ensures that your team is balanced, reducing downtime and maximising productivity.

Furthermore, the ability to track leave requests and plan for future absences allows for smoother operations. Real-time visibility into employee availability makes it easier to manage time off requests and ensure continuity of service, especially in environments with fluctuating workforce needs.

The availability percentage score is an invaluable feature that helps managers make data-driven rostering decisions. It provides a clear snapshot of employee availability, allowing managers to quickly address any potential scheduling gaps before they become issues.

Efficient payroll and rostering are essential for maintaining an accurate workforce management system. Without clear and organised methods for tracking work hours, approving timesheets, and processing payroll, businesses risk errors, delays, and employee dissatisfaction.

RosterElf helps streamline payroll processes and enables better management of employee work schedules, allowing your business to focus on what matters most.
