Why agriculture businesses choose RosterElf

Manage crop cycles and seasonal peaks

Employee rostering for agriculture

Skill-based scheduling

Assign operators, pickers, and seasonal staff

RosterElf’s rostering software assigns machinery operators, pickers, and seasonal workers to the right shifts. Managers drag-and-drop schedules, apply labour budgets, and create templates aligned with crop cycles and weather. Costed schedules reduce admin time and keep peak harvests and planting fully staffed.

Track hours across fields and sites

Time and attendance for farm staff

Digital clock-ins with GPS/photo

Accurate timesheets with less admin

Award compliance simplified

Payroll integration for agriculture

Connect to Xero & MYOB

Accurate pay runs without double entry
