The roster should be completed in monthly blocks and should be issued 2 weeks prior to the next month. Below is a step by step "how to" on how to complete your roster each month:
First things first, contact all your team members, find out their N/A’s and enter them into the Roster. It is important to make sure everyone knows that this is their opportunity to speak up. Once the roster is complete, if something happens and someone is unable to complete their shift, it is up to that team member to find cover themselves. If they cannot find cover they must work the shift.
2. Pop into the template and add the correct dates in next to the day. E.g. change Monday to Monday 1st and so on. Don't forget to list the public holidays.
3. Now that you have their availabilities, start covering our operating hours with the shifts! Please note that there is an Open Shift (the managers to set up the day) and a Close Shift (the MC shift to help as the day gets busier and the manager is unable to do it all themselves).
If a team member cannot complete a shift e.g. can't close but can work 11am – 3pm, they are N/A. The busy hours do not adjust to our availabilities unfortunately, so we have to adjust to them and a mid day shift is not usually required.
4. After you have entered in the shifts, go into deputy and add your shifts into there.
