How do staff see their rota?

In the ZiosCare mobile app on iOS or Android, with the day, the week and upcoming shifts. They also get notifications when a rota is published or an open shift becomes available.

Can staff pick up open shifts?

Yes. Coordinators broadcast an open shift to eligible staff; the first to accept gets it, and the rota updates for everyone.

Does it do check-in and check-out?

Yes. Each shift or visit has check-in and check-out from the app, recorded against the rota for attendance and exception handling.

Can I share a draft before publishing?

Yes. Share a draft rota for availability feedback, collect responses, then publish the main rota. Staff receive the published version by email and in the app.

Can I export the rota?

Yes. Export to CSV, send calendar invites, or email weekly schedules to staff and to service users.

Plan by staff or by service user

Switch the week between a staff view and a service-user view to spot gaps and double bookings. Shift types, travel buffers and locations are set once and reused.

Published to the app, with notifications

When you publish, staff receive the rota in the ZiosCare app and by email with calendar invites. Open shifts are broadcast to eligible people, who accept from their phone. Changes reach everyone without a phone round.

Attendance and leave in the same place

Check-ins flow into attendance registers. Leave requests show their effect on coverage before a manager approves them. Exceptions are approved with a note, so payroll and the rota agree.
