Schedule seasonal workers fast when harvest demand peaks
Add seasonal workers to the system, assign roles like picker, packer or machine operator, and build out a full week’s roster in minutes. Publish shifts instantly to workers’ mobile phones, no printed sheets, no group messages, no confusion about who’s working where and when.
AI rostering can assign the most suitable available workers to each shift automatically, following the rules you set around roles and availability, so you’re not manually slotting names into a spreadsheet during your busiest period of the year.
Adjust shifts on the day when conditions change
Harvest work can start, stop or shift location within hours based on rain, heat or frost. When that happens, you need to update your whole team immediately.
With Payroller, same-day roster changes take seconds. Update the affected shifts, republish, and every worker receives an instant notification through the Employee app and email. Workers always know whether they’re needed, when, and where.
Coordinate workers across multiple sites and locations
Pickers might be in one paddock, packers in the shed, machine operators across multiple fields. Supervisors need visibility over all of it without juggling separate spreadsheets per location.
Payroller keeps all rosters for all sites in one system. Workers can check their shifts from anywhere on their mobile, so there’s no ambiguity about which site they’re heading to and when.
The calendar view shows every upcoming shift across every location in one grid—making it easy to spot gaps, identify overlaps and make sure each site is adequately covered before the working day begins.
85 % of our users run their first payroll in under 15 minutes.
Frequently asked questions about agriculture staff scheduling
Can I add temporary and seasonal workers to the roster quickly?
Yes. Adding workers to Payroller takes only a few minutes per person. Once added, you can assign them roles like picker, packer or machine operator, build their shifts into the roster, and publish directly to their mobile. There’s no need to set up complex employee profiles before getting a roster out.
How do I update rosters when weather forces a change on the day?
Open the roster, update the affected shifts, and republish. Every impacted worker receives an instant notification through the Employee app and email. The whole process takes seconds, and the updated roster reflects the actual hours worked for payroll purposes.
Can workers see their shifts from remote or rural locations?
Yes. Workers access their shifts through the Employee app on their mobile phone. As long as they have mobile data or WiFi, they can check their schedule, accept shifts, and clock in and out from wherever they’re working.
Can I manage rosters across multiple sites or paddocks in one system?
Yes. Payroller keeps all rosters for all locations in a single account. Filter the roster view by role or team to focus on a specific site, or view the full calendar grid across all locations at once. There’s no need to maintain separate accounts or spreadsheets per site.
How are actual hours tracked when scheduled hours change due to weather?
Workers clock in and out of shifts via the Employee app, recording their actual hours separately from the originally scheduled hours. Supervisors review and approve timesheets before they flow into payroll, so pay always reflects what was actually worked rather than what was originally planned.
How does Payroller help with agricultural award compliance?
Payroller links timesheets directly to rostered shifts, giving you an accurate, auditable record of hours worked per employee. Once approved, payroll calculations are based on those records. While Payroller is not a substitute for professional payroll or legal advice on award interpretation, having accurate, connected hour records significantly reduces the risk of underpayment or compliance errors.
Â
Can I set recurring rosters for predictable work patterns?
Yes. Payroller supports recurring shifts and roster templates. Save a standard week as a template and apply it to future weeks, adjusting only where conditions or staffing levels require it.
Can I share my Payroller account?
Yes. Payroller is well-suited to the casual and part-time staff mix common in restaurants. You can set variable shift lengths, assign different pay rates by role or employee type, and manage multiple staff categories within the same roster.
Does Payroller integrate with other platforms?
Yes, Payroller is integrated with Xero. By connecting your Xero account to Payroller, you can easily export and share payroll information cross-platforms.
