Weekly base templates
Create a base roster for the week, then reuse, adjust, or copy it forward to save planning time.
Staff Rostering & Time Tracking
Roster faster, control labour costs, and keep shift changes organised
Build weekly rosters, estimate wage costs, manage shift confirmations, and give staff controlled ways to swap, decline, or pick up open shifts.
Dashify connects scheduling, employee records, time clock activity, mobile notifications, and payroll-ready workflows so managers can plan with more confidence.
01Plan the week faster
Create reusable weekly schedule templates and adjust shifts by day, department, employee, or location.
02Control roster changes
Let staff request swaps, pick up open shifts, or decline shifts while managers keep approval settings in place.
03Forecast labour costs
Estimate wage costs and compare scheduling plans against budgets before the roster goes live.
What it handles
Modern scheduling tools for managers and staff
Dashify helps teams create practical rosters, manage staff availability, respond to change, and keep labour spend visible before shifts happen.
Shift swaps
Allow employees to request shift swaps with manager visibility and approval controls.
Open shifts
Create open shifts that eligible employees can request or pick up based on your settings.
Decline shifts
Give staff a clear workflow to decline assigned shifts so managers can react before gaps become urgent.
Settings controls
Control who can swap, decline, confirm, or pick up shifts using configurable rostering settings.
Cost estimates
See labour cost estimates and budget context while building rosters.
Weekly roster planning
Build a base schedule once, then reuse it each week
Create weekly roster templates for common staffing patterns so managers are not rebuilding the same schedule from scratch.
Templates make it easier to plan recurring coverage, then adjust for availability, public holidays, events, expected sales, and staffing changes.
- Create weekly base schedules for repeatable roster patterns.
- Copy, duplicate, or adjust shifts across days and weeks.
- Plan by employee, department, day, location, or operational need.
Employee shift flexibility
Let staff swap, decline, or request open shifts with manager control
Dashify gives employees a clearer way to manage shift changes while keeping managers in control of approvals and settings.
Instead of shift changes happening across messages and manual follow-up, staff can use structured workflows that feed back into the roster.
- Allow employees to request shift swaps when they cannot work.
- Create open shifts that staff can request or pick up.
- Let staff decline assigned shifts through a controlled process.
- Use settings to decide what needs approval and who can take action.
Labour cost budgeting
See estimated roster costs before the week begins
Managers can plan rosters with labour cost estimates and budget visibility, helping them balance coverage with expected business needs.
Cost visibility during scheduling helps teams make better decisions before the roster is published, rather than discovering labour issues after the fact.
- Estimate labour costs as shifts are created and adjusted.
- Compare roster planning against budget expectations.
- Use cost context to make better staffing decisions by week, day, or department.
Connected workforce tools
Connect rostering with time clock, HRIS, mobile app, and payroll workflows
Dashify rostering works alongside employee profiles, mobile app notifications, kiosk time clock activity, timesheets, and Xero payroll integration.
Time tracking and payroll
Turn rosters into cleaner attendance and payroll workflows
Published rosters can connect with time clock activity, breaks, attendance review, and payroll preparation.
Managers can use Dashify to compare planned work with actual attendance, review exceptions, and keep employee operations connected to payroll-ready records.
- Use the kiosk Time Clock App for clock-ins, breaks, and attendance tracking.
- Review scheduled hours against actual time worked.
- Support payroll preparation with Xero integration workflows.
