Set roles and pay rates

Assign a role to each staff member (e.g. Manager, Barista, Chef) and set their hourly pay rate. Roles determine what colour they appear as on the roster and how their costs are calculated.

Assign to locations

Choose which locations each staff member can work at. They'll only appear on the roster for their assigned locations and can only clock in at those sites.

Manage permissions

Control what each role can access. Managers might see timesheets and approve leave, while regular staff only see their own shifts and clock-in. Set granular permissions per role to keep things secure.

Tips

Get the most from staff management

A few ways to keep your team directory clean and effective.

📧
Send invites early
Invite new staff to Rundeck before their first shift. This gives them time to set up their account, download the app, and familiarise themselves with the platform.
🏷
Use consistent roles
Create a clear set of roles that match your business. Consistent naming makes rostering easier and keeps cost estimates accurate across locations.
💰
Keep pay rates current
Update pay rates whenever they change. Rundeck uses these rates for cost estimates on the roster and timesheet calculations, so accuracy matters.
📍
Multi-location staff
Assign staff to multiple locations if they float between sites. They'll appear on the roster for each location and can clock in at any assigned site.
🔒
Least-privilege permissions
Only give staff the permissions they need. Managers get approval access, supervisors get view access, and regular staff see only their own schedules.
🗂
Archive instead of delete
When a staff member leaves, archive their profile instead of deleting it. This preserves their timesheet history and records for compliance.
