RosterNetBasic is the simplest version that you would choose if all your shifts are at the one location and you do not need to distinguish between the positions held by your personnel. A typical situation would be a small retail store at one location.

RosterNetOne is a simple version that you would choose if all your shifts are at the one location. A typical situation would be a call centre where you would like to distinguish between, say a supervisor and an operator. The centre operates from only one location.

RosterNet allows for rostering where:

• Your shifts are at multiple companies, each of which may have one or more addresses, and each address may have one or more locations within that address.

  An example would be a hospital with several campuses each at their own address, and multiple departments within each address where shifts are to be carried out.

  Another example would be a security company providing a service for many companies (funding bodies), each of which requires a service at one or more addresses in their chain, and possibly several locations (perhaps entrances) within each address.

  OR

• Your shifts are at the street addresses of peoples homes as in a home care situation.

All versions provide for a worker not to be allocated to a shift such as:

• Time before/after a shift
• Recurring times when a worker is not available, eg, weekends, day/evening
• Non-recurring times when a worker is not available, eg, annual leave
