Care workers see their shifts on their phone

Once you publish the rota, care workers immediately see their upcoming shifts in the TimeTally iOS app. No phone calls, no WhatsApp rota photos, no confusion about who's on which shift. TOIL earned from sleep-in shifts and absence records are managed from the same system.

  • Instant shift visibility

    Staff always know their schedule — day, night, and sleep-ins all clearly shown

  • Leave requests from the app

    Care workers request annual leave and TOIL through the same app they view shifts in

  • Timesheet confirmation built in

    Staff can confirm shift attendance from the app — accurate records for payroll

Frequently Asked Questions

Can care workers see their shifts on their phone?

Yes. Once you publish a rota in TimeTally, all assigned care workers can view their upcoming shifts via the iOS app or web browser. Staff are notified when a new rota is published or when their shifts change — no more posting paper rotas or WhatsApp group chaos.

How do we maintain safe staffing ratios?

The team calendar shows all absences, leave, and TOIL alongside the shift rota — so managers can see at a glance how many care workers are available on any given day or shift before finalising the rota.

Can we manage split shifts and sleep-in shifts?

Yes. Each shift has a start time, end time, and optional break. You can create multiple shifts for one employee on the same day for split working, and sleep-in shifts can be created with appropriate overnight timings.

Does the rota software work for agency staff?

Yes. Agency and bank workers can be added as employees in TimeTally and assigned to shifts alongside permanent care staff. Their timesheets and availability are tracked in the same system.

Can we see annual leave and sick leave on the rota?

Yes. The team calendar shows shift patterns alongside annual leave, sick leave, and any other absence types — giving managers a complete picture of care team availability before building or approving changes to the rota.

What does TimeTally cost for a care home?

TimeTally is £2 per employee per month, all features included. A care home with 30 staff would pay £60/month for full rota management, leave tracking, and timesheet functionality.
