Frequently asked questions

Answers to some of our most commonly asked questions.

What is employee scheduling software?

Employee scheduling software, also known as rota planning software, is software that automates and improves the efficiency of staff scheduling for businesses, organisations, or individual teams. It’s usually web-based, allowing for remote access and ensuring that teams see only the most up-to-date schedule.

In RotaCloud, can I share the management of my staff schedules with my team?

Absolutely. You can grant specific members of your team the ability to create and edit rotas, approve or deny shift swaps, manage annual leave, prepare payroll and much more. Access privileges are fully customisable, so your staff will only be able to see and do what you need them to.

Will RotaCloud work with my accounting or HR software?

We currently integrate with a variety of platforms, including Sage, Breathe HR, People, and Zapier. You can also export a live feed of your shifts into your calendar in Outlook or Apple Calendar. New integrations are being added all the time — keep an eye on our Integrations page.

Can my staff clock in using RotaCloud?

Yes! Our Time & Attendance add-on brings remote and terminal-based clocking-in, as well as absence monitoring, holiday accrual and more to your RotaCloud account.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes! Employees and managers alike can download our free smartphone app on compatible iOS and Android devices. Managers can respond to leave requests, manage shifts and rotas, and much more through the app, while employees can request leave, cover, or shift swaps, as well as clocking in and out.

Am I tied into a contract?

Not at all — you can cancel your RotaCloud subscription at any time.
