Workforce Management inside HERA
Plan weekly rosters, assign shifts by department, and keep coverage right. Scheduled shifts flow into time and attendance and then into payroll. Because it uses the same employee data as every other HERA module, nothing needs to be entered twice.

What you can do
Weekly rostering
Build and publish rosters per department, with shifts, rest days, and leave visible in one grid.
Shift templates
Create your own shifts such as AM, PM, and Night once, then reuse them every week.
Coverage by department
See at a glance whether each shift has enough people before you publish.
Leave and rest day awareness
Approved leave and rest days appear on the roster, so nobody is scheduled by mistake.
Shift swaps and changes
Employees request swaps and managers approve them, with the roster updating automatically.
Connected to time and payroll
Scheduled shifts become the baseline for attendance, overtime, and pay, with no re-entry.

Set up shifts
Define your shifts, departments, and coverage needs.
Build the roster
Assign shifts by week and check coverage.

Frequently asked questions
What is workforce management software?
It helps you plan who works when. In HERA that means building rosters and shift schedules, managing swaps and leave, and keeping coverage right in every department.
How does rostering connect to payroll?
Scheduled shifts feed the time and attendance log. Approved hours, overtime, and differentials then go into the next payroll run without retyping.
Can I create my own shifts?
Yes. HERA is customized to your operation, so shifts, rest day rules, and overtime rules follow your company policy.
Can employees see their own schedule?
Yes. Through employee self service they can view their roster and request shift swaps or leave.
