Everything you need to plan staff rotas

No spreadsheets. No WhatsApp messages. Just a clear, visual rota that everyone can access from their phone.

Weekly rota view

See the full week at a glance. Assign shifts by dragging and dropping. Each employee has a row showing their shifts, leave, and total hours.

Copy week forward

Running the same pattern next week? Copy the entire rota in one click and adjust only what has changed. Saves hours of manual rescheduling.

Leave conflict detection

If you assign a shift to someone who is on leave, sick, or has a pending request, Leavely flags it immediately. No more accidental double-bookings.

Hours tracking

Leavely calculates total scheduled hours per employee per week. Compare against contracted hours to spot overtime or underscheduling before it becomes a problem.

Shift templates

Create reusable shift templates (Early, Late, Night, Split) with start and end times. Assign them in seconds instead of typing times manually each week.

Timesheet export

Export weekly timesheets as CSV for payroll. Includes scheduled hours, actual clock-in/out times, and any adjustments. Ready for your accountant or payroll provider.

Why combine rotas with leave management?

No more scheduling people who are off

Standalone rota tools do not know who is on annual leave, who is sick, or who has a pending time-off request. Leavely connects your rota directly to the leave calendar, so conflicts are flagged the moment you create the schedule.

One tool instead of three

Most businesses use a spreadsheet for rotas, a different tool for leave, and email for timesheets. Leavely replaces all three. Your team logs in to one place for their shifts, leave requests, and time tracking.

Accurate hours for payroll

Because Leavely tracks both scheduled shifts and actual clock-in times, you can export a complete weekly timesheet that accounts for leave, overtime, and absences. Your payroll person gets clean data without manual reconciliation.

Employees see everything on their phone

Staff can check next week s rota, request a shift swap, book leave, and clock in from the same mobile interface. No app download required. It works in the browser on any phone.

Frequently asked questions

How does rota planning work in Leavely?
You create shift templates (e.g. Early 7am to 3pm, Late 2pm to 10pm) and assign them to employees on a weekly calendar view. You can copy a week and paste it forward, drag shifts to reassign them, and see total hours per employee. If someone is on leave that day, Leavely highlights the conflict so you do not accidentally schedule them.
Can I see leave and rotas in one place?
Yes. That is the main advantage of using Leavely for rotas instead of a standalone tool. When you build a rota, you can see who is on leave, who is sick, and who has requested time off. This prevents double-booking and ensures you always have enough cover.
Does Leavely track hours worked?
Yes. Leavely calculates scheduled hours from the rota and also supports clock-in/clock-out via QR code or GPS. You can compare scheduled hours against actual hours and export weekly timesheets as CSV for payroll.
How much does Leavely rota software cost?
Rota planning is included in the standard Leavely price of £8 per user per month. There are no add-on fees for shift scheduling. You also get leave management, time tracking, performance reviews, expenses, and onboarding in the same price.
Can I copy a rota from one week to the next?
Yes. Leavely has a copy-week feature that duplicates the entire rota to the following week. You can then make adjustments for that specific week. This saves significant time for businesses with consistent shift patterns.
