What is a Roster?

There are several different types of Roster:

• A Closed Roster is used for historical purposes.
• An Open Roster is used to edit a day's shift times. This will show as a one-off change to the selected day for only that employee.
  • After you open the roster, you can make any changes that are going to occur prior to it being published and becoming current.
  • When the Roster is in a current period it changes to Actuals. Subsequent editing is only to be done in Actuals.
• An Unopened Roster is a master copy of an employee’s shifts.

Rosters are used to capture Budget versus Roster comparisons, as well as award interpretation calculations such as:

• Public Holiday payments.
• Other Leave payments - the number of paid leave hours.
• Exceptions when comparing Actuals to Rosters. For example, a Late Finish or an Early Start.

Default Roster

The employee's default Roster is one or more tours attached to the employee that specify the days the employee is rostered to work. When you open a roster period, PayGlobal uses the employee's default Roster to create Current Roster Timeband records.
