# RotaTiger

> Leave and absence software for UK and US teams. RotaTiger counts every balance in hours, so it works for compressed hours, 12-hour rotas and casual shifts as well as the nine-to-five.

RotaTiger is made by Glusoft Limited (https://rotatiger.com). RotaTiger is in beta and free for every company, with every feature, until formal release. iPhone and Android apps are coming soon; until then RotaTiger works in any phone's browser.

## Optional

- [Get in touch](https://rotatiger.com/contact): Get in touch with the RotaTiger team by email or through the contact form.
- [Rota and auto scheduling](https://rotatiger.com/rota): Plan staff shifts on a grid that already shows leave and sickness, let Auto-fill draft the week from your staffing needs, send it to staff to check, then publish it. How RotaTiger's rota works, step by step.
- [Planning the week](https://rotatiger.com/rota/planning-the-week): How to plan a week of shifts in RotaTiger: the rota grid, adding and editing shifts, drag to move, Alt to copy, week progress, copying last week, templates and planning usual days.
- [By shift, and fairness](https://rotatiger.com/rota/by-shift-and-fairness): See the rota by shift instead of by person: who's on each shift, which places are still needed, and a staff list to drag people from. Fairness shows each person's mix of early, late, night and weekend shifts against the team.
- [The checks on every shift](https://rotatiger.com/rota/checks): Every shift on a RotaTiger rota is checked as you place it: overlaps, the longest shift, weekly caps, rest between shifts, the 17-week average, leave, sickness and availability.
- [Send for review](https://rotatiger.com/rota/send-for-review): Send next week's proposed rota to your staff before it's final. They see their shifts, say if they can't do one and why, and you see every reply on the rota. Publishing makes it final.
- [Drafts and publishing](https://rotatiger.com/rota/publishing): In RotaTiger every rota change is a draft until you publish. The publish preview shows every change by day, asks whether extra hours are overtime, and then tells everyone whose shifts changed.
- [Open shifts](https://rotatiger.com/rota/open-shifts): Post a shift with nobody on it and RotaTiger offers it to everyone who could work it. First to take it gets it, or people ask and you choose.
- [Staffing needs and positions](https://rotatiger.com/rota/staffing-needs): Tell RotaTiger how many people you need, when, and in which position, for each location, in Rota schedules. The rota shows how full each day is, and Auto-fill uses it to draft the week.
- [Templates](https://rotatiger.com/rota/templates): Two kinds of template in RotaTiger's rota: staffing needs templates for weeks that need different cover, such as bank holiday weeks and Christmas, and rota templates that save a planned week to lay onto another.
- [Staff availability](https://rotatiger.com/rota/availability): Staff tell RotaTiger when they can't work and when they'd prefer to, every week or on particular dates. The rota warns you about a clash, and Auto-fill never books them then.
- [Auto scheduling](https://rotatiger.com/rota/auto-scheduling): Auto-fill drafts the week's shifts from your staffing needs: people who pass every check, contracted hours first, availability respected, weekends and nights shared out fairly. Undo in one go.
- [What your staff see](https://rotatiger.com/rota/for-your-staff): How RotaTiger's rota looks to staff: their week by email and notification when it's published, their next shifts on the home screen, open shifts they can take, and their availability.
- [Leave, holiday and hours](https://rotatiger.com/rota/leave-and-hours): How RotaTiger's rota and leave work together: booking holiday before the rota is out, how leave is costed for rota staff, holiday accrual on casual shifts, and why the rota shows hours rather than wages.
- [Blog](https://rotatiger.com/blog): guides to UK and US leave, holiday pay and working time rules
- [Holiday pay enforcement starts in 2027. Could you show you paid it right?](https://rotatiger.com/blog/holiday-pay-enforcement-2027): The Fair Work Agency will enforce holiday pay from 2027, with penalties of 200% of arrears. What's changing, overtime mistakes to avoid and the records to keep.
