The Problem

Managers build a roster, publish it, and then spend the rest of the week fielding texts from employees who can't work the hours they were given. Availability changes live in different places — texts, emails, sticky notes — and the roster never reflects reality until it's too late.

How TaskForceOne Solves It

Self-Service Availability

Employees set their recurring availability and one-off changes directly in the app. No phone calls, no manual updates.

Visible During Rostering

When managers build a roster, availability is shown inline. Green means available, red means unavailable — conflicts are impossible to miss.

Recurring & One-Off Patterns

Set regular weekly availability (e.g., "available Mon-Fri 8am-5pm") and layer on exceptions for specific dates like university exams or appointments.

Submission Deadlines

Set a cutoff for availability changes so managers have stable data before they start building next week's roster.

Conflict Warnings

If a manager rosters someone outside their stated availability, TaskForceOne flags the conflict before the roster is published.

Availability Reports

See which days are understaffed at a glance. Identify employees with the most flexibility and plan hiring around actual coverage gaps.

Why It Matters

Fewer Rostering Conflicts

Rosters built on real availability data mean fewer last-minute changes and angry text messages.

Employee Empowerment

Giving staff a say in when they work leads to higher engagement and lower turnover.

Faster Roster Building

Managers spend less time checking who can work and more time optimising coverage and costs.
