Frequently Asked Questions

Can security officers see their shifts on their phone?

Yes. Once you publish a rota, all assigned officers see their upcoming shifts in the TimeTally iOS app. They receive notifications when rotas are published or shifts change — useful for 24/7 operations where officers are rarely in the office.

How do we ensure all client posts are covered?

The team calendar shows all shifts alongside leave, TOIL, and sickness. Before finalising the rota, operations managers can check who is available on each shift and ensure every client post is filled before publishing.

Can we manage emergency cover and last-minute shift changes?

Yes. You can edit and republish rotas at any time. When shifts change, affected officers receive instant notifications — allowing you to manage emergency cover quickly without phone calls to every member of the team.

Does the rota software work for officers across multiple client sites?

Yes. All officers and all sites are managed under one TimeTally account. Operations managers can view all sites in one calendar or filter to a specific location to check post coverage.

Can the rota link to TOIL for officers who cover emergency absences?

Yes. When officers work extra hours to cover emergencies, those hours are recorded in the timesheet and TOIL accruals are submitted and approved through the same system — creating accurate records of all extra time worked.

What does TimeTally cost for a security company?

TimeTally is £2 per employee per month, all features included. A security company with 40 officers would pay £80/month for full rota management, TOIL tracking, leave management, and timesheet functionality.

Every post covered. Every shift accounted for.
