Where rotas for multiple sites go wrong, and what stops it

A spreadsheet per site works until people, cover and money start crossing between them. These are the moments it usually breaks.

  1. Monday 08:40The Bridge Inn

    “Can Priya do a shift here on Wednesday?”

    Priya already has a shift at The Old Mill that day. On The Bridge Inn's grid her Wednesday shows The Old Mill's name and can't be booked, so nobody finds out on Wednesday morning that she was promised to two sites.

  2. Tuesday 14:00Station Road

    Station Road's week is over budget

    A cost rule on Station Road's schedule puts a red line above the grid: the week is over the limit you set. You see it while the shifts can still move, not when the wages go out.

  3. Wednesday 11:15The Old Mill

    Two people off the same weekend

    Approving the second holiday lists the shifts it leaves open and who is free to cover each, people from The Old Mill first, then Also show free on other schedules.

  4. Thursday 16:30All three

    Each site's week goes out

    Each schedule is published on its own, so The Old Mill can go out on Thursday while Station Road waits for one more answer. Only that site's staff are emailed.

How multi-site rota software works in TimeTally

It is the same rota planner you'd use for one site, with a schedule for each location. Adding a site is a name and a colour.

  1. A schedule for each site

    Name it and give it a colour. Switch between them from the picker at the top of the rota; there's no limit on how many you run.

  2. Add the people who work there

    Someone who works at two sites goes on both. Their shifts at one show on the other's grid as taken.

  3. Save each site's normal week

    Shift templates are shared by every site. Each schedule keeps its own week templates, and copying a week forward fills up to 13 more.

  4. Publish each site on its own

    One site's week can go out while another is still being built. You choose whether to email, and only that site's staff are told.

Another organisation's schedule: the picker reading Riverside Leisure, a red line saying Lifeguards has 3 staff on Saturday 31 October, under the 4 staff minimum, and the week's shifts with Hours and Cost rows
Each schedule is its own week: here a leisure centre's, with a department rule watching lifeguard numbers.

Staff who work at more than one site

Never booked at two sites on the same day

A person has one shift a day across all your schedules. When Priya is on The Old Mill on Monday, The Bridge Inn's grid shows her Monday as taken, with The Old Mill's name in it, and won't let you add a shift or paste one there.

If someone really does work two sites in one day, it's one shift with two time slots on one schedule. Give that shift a project for each site and they clock in at both.

Rota rules

Each site's hours, cost and cover, checked before you publish

Set a rule once and the rota watches it for you: over or under a number of hours, pounds or people, per day, week or month. Point it at one site's schedule, a department, one person, or All schedules at once.

Hours, cost and staffing alerts: Triggering right now, Lifeguards has 3 staff on Saturday 31 October, under the 4 staff minimum; the rule Lifeguards has fewer than 4 staff on shift a day across all schedules, switched on; Add an alert
A department, across all schedules. The rule counts Lifeguards on every schedule at once, whichever site they are working at.
You are over on this rota: this rota is triggering one of your alerts, the whole schedule is £69.21 over the £3,400 limit for the week of 16 November, with Publish anyway and Go back and fix it
One site's cost, before it goes out. A warning, never a block: you decide.
  • Every schedule shows an Hours row and a Cost row under each day, for the site in view.
  • A staffing rule counts people with a shift that day, not the hours they cover.
  • Cost rules and the Cost row only show to people allowed to see pay.

More on costs: rota labour costs.

Holiday and cover

Cover from the next site, not a round of phone calls

Approve someone's holiday and TimeTally lists the shifts it leaves open, with the people who are free for each. Your own site's staff come first; Also show free on other schedules brings in people from your other sites.

  • Pick someone for each shift, or leave them as they are for now.
  • Holiday shows on the grid on the days it falls, approved or still waiting.
  • Putting a shift on someone's approved holiday asks you first.

More on holiday tracking.

Site managers run their own site, and only their own

Give each manager the departments or people they look after. They change shifts, approve holiday and approve timesheets for those people only.

YouEvery site, every setting
Area managerAll departments: every site's people

  • Can also see on the rota. Let a manager see people from another site (everyone, a department or a person) without being able to change them.
  • Allow them to see pay. Off, and their rota has no Cost row and no cost rules.
  • Every manager sees the list of schedules. What they can see and change inside one is only the people you've given them.

Clock in at the site they're rostered at

Give each site a project with an area round its address. With GPS clock-in (£1 per employee a month) staff can clock in to a site only when they're there, and a shift can name the site it's at. See GPS clock-in.

Real reviews from TimeTally customers

TimeTally has been excellent for our business… The system has saved us a significant amount of administration time.
Jordan IngoeCLI Manchester
Setup was dead simple and the team just got on with it. Got everyone up and running in an afternoon with no help needed. Does everything we need for timesheets and holidays without the faff.
S.M.
Has completely changed how I handle timesheets. Used to dread it every week — now it takes me minutes. Really easy to get around and my staff picked it up straight away.
J.T.
Started using it just for rotas but quickly realised it does loads more. The timesheets and leave management are great, and it even handles TOIL and overtime which I wasn't expecting. Use it for everything now.

Still have a question? See all FAQs

What is multi-site rota software?

Multi-site rota software plans staff shifts for several locations in one account: a rota for each site, with the people, managers, hours and cost of each kept apart, and the whole business on one login and one bill. In TimeTally each site is a schedule. You build and publish each one on its own, people who work at more than one site can be on several, and nobody can be booked at two sites on the same day.

Can one employee work at more than one site?

Yes. Add them to each site's schedule. They can work at one site on Monday and another on Tuesday, and each site's grid shows the days they're already taken elsewhere. A person has one shift a day across all your schedules, so a day split between two sites is one shift with two time slots on one schedule (it can name a project at each site, so they clock in at both).

Can a site manager see only their own site's staff?

Yes. Give a manager the departments or named people they look after, and they can change shifts, approve holiday and approve timesheets only for those people. To let them see more people on the rota without changing them, such as the site next door, use Can also see on the rota. You can also hide pay from them. Every manager can see the list of schedules, but only the people you've given them.

Can I see staff costs for each site?

Yes, when pay is switched on and you can see pay. Each schedule shows an Hours row and a Cost row under every day, worked out from each person's rate, and a cost rule can warn you when a site's day, week or month goes over a limit you set. The grid shows the schedule in view; there's no single total across every site on it.

Does it stop a site going below minimum staffing?

It warns, it doesn't block. A staffing rule counts the people with a shift on a schedule or in a department per day, week or month, and shows a red line above the grid when the count is under your number. Publishing then asks Publish anyway or Go back and fix it. The count is people on shift that day, not the hours they cover, so it can't tell you a site is empty at 7pm.

Do we pay per site?

No. TimeTally is one account and one bill at £3 per employee a month, however many sites and schedules you run. Three sites with 42 staff between them is £126 a month. Managers who don't record their own time aren't charged. GPS clock-in is £1 extra per employee if you want it, and there's a 14-day free trial with no card.

Put every site's rota in one place

Try TimeTally free for 14 days. Set up a schedule for each site, give each manager their people, and publish next week from one account. Staff see their shifts in the staff rota app, and it's £3 per employee a month.
