Security Guard Roster Software

Security companies cover many sites, often around the clock, with guards who rarely come into the office. When the roster lives in a spreadsheet, one missed update can leave a site without cover.

WorkRoster is online roster software for planning guard shifts, sharing them with guards and keeping every site covered.

With WorkRoster, you can:

• Build the roster quickly and copy shifts by dragging them to another day.
• Give each site its own roster, or plan them all together.
• Set regular patterns once, such as 12-hour days and nights, and let them repeat.
• Tell guards about changes as soon as you make them, and send each guard a reminder before every shift.
• Let guards check their shifts and set their availability in the mobile app.

Problems WorkRoster helps with:

• Many sites: keep a roster for each site or client and view them together.
• Leave and busy periods: see who has holiday booked before you assign anyone, and plan extra cover for weekends and events.
• Availability: guards enter when they can work, so you can fill shifts with people who are free. See availability.
• Keeping in touch: send memos to all guards or to one, and see who has read them.

With shift agreements, guards accept each shift in the app, and the roster shows who has accepted, declined or not answered yet. You decide whether guards can decline, and up to how many days before the shift.

Add each site or customer as a client and put it on its shifts. Guards see the site on their own shifts, you can print a schedule for each site, and you can export the hours worked at each one to CSV. See client scheduling.

WorkRoster works the same way for 10, 100 or 1,000 guards, and plans are priced by the number of employees, so it suits growing companies.

Try it with your own sites and guards. The free trial lasts 21 days, and no credit card is needed.
