Setting up an Employee in Droppah

Before you start building rosters or clocking in, take a moment to make sure your employees are set up correctly in Droppah. This helps keep your rosters accurate, manage costs, and ensure your team has access to everything they need.

Work groups are the areas in the business or particular roles that people are rostered to work, e.g. Front of house, duty manager.
​

Add each person to all the groups they could work in, not just their primary role. That way, you’ve got max flexibility when it’s time to roster.

Add your staff to all the teams they work at regularly.

If they occasionally work in another team, use Rockstar Shifts for one-off shifts.

Add pay grades or pay rates to forecast accurate roster costs and manage wage budgets before publishing rosters.

Record each employee’s weekly availability under their profile in the people tab

Under an employee’s profile on the people tab, you can also add any upcoming time off they may have. Droppah uses this information, as well as their weekly availability to avoid scheduling clashes.

Invite employees to the Droppah mobile app so they can view their upcoming rosters and historic timesheets, request time off, and manage shift covers (if enabled).
