Workers see their shifts from the factory floor

Production workers view their upcoming shifts, leave balances, and TOIL in the TimeTally app. They know their schedule in advance, can request leave from their phone, and don't need to check a noticeboard. Shift patterns are stored per worker so leave is always calculated correctly for rotating schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we manage rotating day, late, and night shifts?

Yes. TimeTally supports any shift pattern — days, lates, nights, and rotating combinations. You can build rotating rotas by assigning shifts across multiple weeks, and copy patterns from previous rotas to save time.

Can factory workers see their shifts on their phone?

Yes. Once you publish the rota, all assigned workers see their upcoming shifts in the TimeTally iOS app. They receive notifications when rotas are published or shifts change — no paper rota boards needed.

How do we maintain minimum production crew levels?

The team calendar shows all booked leave, TOIL, and sickness alongside the shift rota. Managers check crew availability before finalising the rota or approving absence requests — ensuring lines are never staffed below safe operating levels.

Does the rota software link to timesheets?

Yes. Shift times from the rota feed into the timesheet system — workers confirm hours worked, and managers can see actual vs. scheduled hours per shift. Useful for overtime tracking and payroll accuracy.

Can we manage agency and temporary workers alongside permanent staff?

Yes. Agency workers can be added as employees in TimeTally and assigned to shifts within the same rota view as permanent production staff. Their hours and availability are tracked in the same system.

What does TimeTally cost for a manufacturing team?

TimeTally is £2 per employee per month, all features included. A production team of 50 workers would pay £100/month for full rota management, leave tracking, and timesheet functionality.
