“RosterElf has been a great addition to our childcare centre. It has made rostering and leave so much easier. Payroll has been improved immensely and mistakes have been minimised which has been fantastic. More importantly, the focus on service and regular updates is great for us. We have found engaging a local company so beneficial and we like to support Australian based businesses where we can. I would happily recommend RosterElf to any childcare centre looking for a Rostering and Payroll System.”

“This is the very best rostering software that I have used. It is so simple to learn. Super easy for staff to use and most importantly the support is sensational. There is loads of online training, but the email support is first class - often responding within minutes, which is critical when you get a glitch mid - pay processing. I highly recommend. Jane”
