Short answer

On the Roster tab, click an empty cell to add a shift, or use Apply › Copy last week. When the week is ready, click Publish roster. Staff only see shifts once the roster is published, and can get an email when you publish.

Open in Roux Roster

Add a shift

  1. In the Dashboard, open Roster.
  2. Click an empty cell (it shows +) for the person and day you want.
  3. In Add shift, check the Employee, Site and Day, then set the Start and End times and the Break.
  4. Pick a Station if you use them.
  5. Click Add shift.

Copy last week

  1. Click Apply in the roster toolbar.
  2. Click Copy last week.
  3. Check the copied shifts and change anything that's different this week.

Publish the roster

Until you publish, the week shows Draft, not yet visible to staff.

  1. Click Publish roster.
  2. In Publish this roster?, leave Notify staff by email ticked to email your staff, or untick it.
  3. Click Publish and notify (or Publish only).

Staff now see their shifts in My Roster. Before you publish, they see "Your manager hasn't published this week's roster yet."

Change a published roster

Edit shifts as normal. The button changes to Publish changes. Click it to send the changes to staff. To take the week back to draft, click Unpublish.
