Remote teams often work across several countries and time zones, which makes a shared roster easy to get wrong. WorkRoster shows every shift in each person's time zone, so no one has to manually convert times.
It suits teams such as:
distributed call centres
telehealth and telemedicine services
social media help desks
inbound sales teams
follow-the-sun technical support

Key features
Time zones handled for you: everyone sees shift times in their own time zone, including the changes when daylight saving starts and ends.
24/7 rosters: build 8-hour, 12-hour or 24-hour shift patterns, or any pattern you need, and use coverage counts to check that each hour is staffed.
Repeating shifts: set up the pattern once, and it repeats into future weeks.
Availability: staff enter their availability in their local time, and managers see it in theirs.
Notifications: staff are told when a shift is added or changed, and reminded before each one.
Printouts and exports: print the roster, or export shifts, hours, holidays and sick leave to CSV.
