backfylBuild the week,then publish it.
The roster grid in Backfyl Workforce: everyone down the side, every day across, every shift in its own colour. Fill it in a drag, copy the last fortnight, or upload the roster you already have. Shifts stay as drafts until you publish, then each person is told once.
In Backfyl WorkforceFrom $2 a person a month
From an empty weekto a published roster.
Start from what you have.
Copy last week, or the last two or four weeks, in one step. Or upload the roster you already keep in a spreadsheet, as it is: Backfyl reads it and shows you what it found before it adds anything.
Fill the gaps in a drag.
Pick a shift from the strip, one of your roster codes or the times you use most, and drag it across the days. Or click a cell, type a time such as 0700-1530 or a code, and press Enter.
Check it as you go.
Each person’s hours sit beside their name, and each day’s count runs along the bottom, with its wage cost once pay is set up. Leave, times someone can’t work and missing certificates are flagged on the shift.
Publish when it’s ready.
New shifts are drafts that only managers see. Publishing tells each person once, puts their shifts in the app and in their own calendar, and asks them to confirm.
Every shiftin its own colour.
Morning, afternoon, late stay and night each have a colour, worked out from the shift’s own times, so 6, 8, 10 and 12 hour shifts all fall in place. Each venue sets where its morning ends and its night begins.

Questionspeople ask first.
Can we keep our current roster?
Yes. Upload it as it is, from a spreadsheet. On Backfyl Cover, Backfyl then fills its gaps. On Backfyl Workforce, you carry on building it in Backfyl from there.
Do staff see drafts?
No. Drafts are visible only to managers. Staff see a shift once it’s published, and confirm it.
Can I build the roster on a phone?
Yes. The grid works on a computer, a tablet and a phone, including dragging shifts. Most managers build on a computer, where the whole week fits.
Which plan includes the roster grid?
Backfyl Workforce. Uploading a roster you already have is on both plans.
