Features
Paperless
HR management
Your company can take advantage of digital contracts to define and tailor agreements to any level within the organizational chart. The changes can be automatically sent to sub-units and teams, or manual overrides can be selected. Employees can be assigned to multiple units, departments, or groups, allowing them to work with their primary team or cross-teams as needed.
Competency Management
It is far simpler to set conditions based on pre-defined parameters. The crew roster optimization and balancing system will take into account factors such as workforce availability, preferences, and other critical elements to make the best choices for your needs.
Leave Management
SkyRoster lets you define various types of leaves and deduct days from your annual vacation allowance as needed. But it does so much more; it enables you to manage non-shift duty work within the same staff roster or allow employees to make requests from anywhere. They can also convert overtime to extra time off and eliminate those intricate spreadsheets.
Automated Rostering
You customise shift types and working hours to meet your requirements and colour code them for easy identification. As a sequence, define clockwise or counterclockwise rotation patterns of predefined shift types. A highly optimised and easily extensible constraint-based rostering engine will allow employees to be both automatically and manually assigned shifts.
Personalised Workspace
The dashboard allows everyone to manage the work schedule and requests. This feature provides a simple overview of the remaining vacation days and other information from the platform work history that the rostering engine has filled.
Integrated Reporting
For each qualification, you can create customized reports for different shifts, leave and duty requests, swap requests, or hours on position. You can create reports using the built-in visualizations and charts to understand your data better.
