What Staff Rota in ETaxFlow Does

Part of the ETaxFlow HRMS — sharing employee records with payroll and accounting.

🧩

Shift Setup

Define the shifts you run — mornings, nights, split shifts — once, then reuse them in every rota.

🗓️

Weekly, Monthly & Department Rotas

Build rotas for a week, a month or a single department, depending on how your teams are organised.

🔁

Shift Swap Requests

Staff request swaps instead of arranging them informally, so the published rota always matches who actually works.

✅

Rota Approval Workflow

Finished rotas are routed for approval, and managers sign them off from the Manager Portal.

👥

Team Visibility

Managers see team attendance alongside the rota, so gaps and late changes are spotted quickly.

💰

Hours Into Payroll

Overtime and attendance recorded against shifts flow into PAYE payroll, with no re-keying.

Why Move Rotas Out of Spreadsheets and Group Chats

Rotas built in spreadsheets and shared in group chats are hard to change and harder to audit. Swaps happen informally, the published rota stops matching who actually worked, and overtime is only discovered when payroll is run. With rotas inside the HRMS, shifts are defined once, swaps go through a request, and each rota is approved before it is published — so attendance, overtime and PAYE payroll all start from the same schedule.

Rest Breaks and Working Time in the UK

Under the Working Time Regulations, adult workers are generally entitled to 11 hours' rest between working days and a 20-minute break when they work more than six hours. Building those gaps into your rota keeps it compliant; check GOV.UK for the rules that apply to your staff.

This is general guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm current requirements with GOV.UK.
