About This Automation

Carer rostering matches staff availability, certifications, and travel distance against client care plans to build a weekly schedule. Doing this by hand across spreadsheets, email, and calendars leaves the process slow and prone to overlaps, gaps, and missed skill matches.

An automated version builds the draft roster from availability and care plan data, flags clashes before publishing, and sends confirmations automatically. Last-minute call-outs are matched to a qualified replacement and completed hours flow directly into payroll records.

Key features
Matches carer skills and certifications to each client's care plan automatically
Calculates travel time between visits to prevent impossible back-to-back scheduling
Flags double bookings and coverage gaps before the roster is published
Sends shift confirmations to every carer without manual emailing
Identifies and contacts qualified replacement carers when a call-out occurs
Logs completed shift hours directly into payroll without re-entry

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Weekly Roster Request Receivedtrigger

Case manager sends the week's care requirements by email, which the automation ingests directly.

2. Roster Builder Drafts Roster

Matches carer skills, certifications, availability, and travel windows to generate draft shift assignments.

3. Publish Roster

Draft shifts sync automatically into each carer's as tentative bookings.

4. Coordinator Adjusts Roster

If a clash or coverage gap is flagged, the coordinator resolves it manually before release.

5. Shift Notification Sends Confirmations

Once the roster is clean, confirmation messages go out to each carer by SMS and email.

6. Call-out Reassignment Finds Cover

Monitors for call-out reports and proposes a qualified, available replacement carer.

7. Log Approved Hours

Final approved shift hours sync automatically for payroll processing.
