Create, customise, and control your workforce schedules with flexibility and clarity using Roster Manager in Humanforce WFM.
Designed for frontline and operational managers, Roster Manager brings together all your rostering needs in one powerful, intuitive tool. Whether you're building a roster from scratch or adjusting an existing one, you can manage shifts more efficiently and make informed decisions with real-time visibility.
Capabilities
Access and permissions
Quickly enable and access Roster Manager with minimal setup. Access is controlled through Nav Manager and Access Level permissions, giving you full control over who can view and manage rosters.
Tailored roster views
Switch between Shift, People, and Role views to see exactly what matters most. Whether you’re focused on daily shift coverage, employee availability, or role allocation across teams, each view gives you a focused lens to manage your roster.
Control what you see
Apply filters, choose your date range, and group shifts by location, department, or other attributes to suit your scheduling needs. Configure shift tile displays to highlight the most relevant information for your team.
Manage shifts with ease
Add, edit, assign, confirm, publish, or delete shifts directly from the grid. Whether you're adjusting one shift or hundreds, bulk actions and intuitive controls save time and reduce errors.
Engage employees with confirmations and offers
Send shift confirmations by SMS, push notification, or both. Offer shifts to multiple employees using Fill Shift, and allow them to accept or decline from their device. Reassign shifts when needed and create a timesheet for the original employee if applicable.
Setup Guides
Shift consent
Capture employee consent when offering shifts that vary from their standard work patterns. Consent messages appear in the Work App during the offer or bidding process, helping you stay compliant with award conditions where changes to hours, pay rates, or locations may otherwise attract penalties.
Setup Guides
Events and labour groups
Use labour groups to efficiently manage shifts related to events. Apply default settings when creating shifts to speed up rostering and maintain consistency.

Warnings, shift validations, and the alerts panel help you identify and resolve rostering issues before they impact operations or compliance. Ensure employees meet role qualifications and receive appropriate shifts.
