FARM STAFF ROSTERING WITH QUICK SET-UP

Everything you need to manage agriculture staff scheduling

Payroller is built for the realities of farm and agricultural labourโ€”seasonal hiring spikes, rosters that change with the weather, and workers spread across paddocks, packing sheds and remote sites.

Assign shifts by role and publish them instantly to workers’ mobile phones. When conditions change mid-day, update the roster on the spot and notify your whole team without a single phone call. Approved hours flow directly into payroll, keeping you accurate and compliant with agricultural award obligations.

FIT FOR SEASONAL STAFF

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.

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING CAPABILITIES

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.

DISTRIBUTED SITE MANAGEMENT

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 gridโ€”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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

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.

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.

Yes, Payroller is integrated with Xero. By connecting your Xero account to Payroller, you can easily export and share payroll information cross-platforms.
