Roster Manager — Operator Manual

A short, role-by-role guide on how to run the Roster app day to day.

Read this first

The app has three roles. Each person should only follow the manual for their role. If you do not know which role you have, ask the admin.

Pick your role

Sets up stores, creates managers and employees, closes pay periods, runs full exports.

Builds the weekly roster for their store(s), logs worked hours, exports the weekly report.

Sees their own shifts, downloads a personal PDF, syncs the calendar to their phone.

Roster Manager is a shift-scheduling tool for retail teams with multiple stores. It handles four things:

Scheduling — drag-and-click to build a weekly or fortnightly roster per store.
Worked hours — record what was actually worked (ordinary / Saturday / Sunday / public holiday / annual leave / sick leave).
Pay-period closing — admin freezes a fortnight so worked hours can no longer be edited.
Exports — Excel reports (weekly per store, fortnightly all stores, raw roster) plus per-employee iCal feeds.

Term	Means
Store	One physical location with its own roster and weekly hour budget.
Member	Anyone in the system who can log in — either an employee or a manager.
Shift	A planned block of time someone is scheduled to work.
Worked hours	What actually happened, entered after the fact (may differ from the shift).
Reporting period	A fortnight (14 days) of worked hours that the admin freezes for payroll.
Registration code	Shared secret employees type when they self-register their account.

This manual lives in the codebase at public/docs/. Edit the HTML, git pull on the server, and reload — no rebuild needed.
