Plan the rota
8 Jul 2026 · 1 min read
Build the week's shifts, see everyone's hours, and copy last week in one click.
The rota is a simple weekly grid: your people down the side, the days across the top. Add shifts where you need them, keep an eye on everyone's hours, and copy last week when the pattern repeats.

Add a shift
On the week's grid, add a shift to a person on a day. Set the start and end times, any break, and the location if you work from more than one site.

Watch the hours add up
As you build the week, Empliora totals each person's hours and the whole team's, so you can balance the rota without a calculator.

Copy last week
Where the pattern repeats, use Copy last week to bring the previous week across, then tweak what has changed. It saves rebuilding a rota from scratch. Move between weeks with the arrows to plan ahead as far as you need.
