Rota management dashboard with timesheets and team availability

Are your rotas running you ragged?

Coordinating your workforce is a constant battle without the right tools. Changing availability can leave you under or over-staffed at critical moments, while complex pay rules create more work for payroll. 

Our rota management system frees up time, keeps you compliant, and ensures you've always got the coverage you need.

How People First takes the pressure off

Keep your teams in sync

People First has every shift covered. Plan weeks or months ahead, respond to changes quickly, and keep track of hours worked, all without getting bogged down in admin.

Boost employee morale

Share detailed schedules far in advance, making it easier for people to plan their time and enjoy a better work-life balance. Employees also get a real-time view of their hours and pay, meaning fewer questions for HR and payroll.

Avoid payday panic

People First feeds approved hours straight into payroll, taking care of intricate pay rules to reduce manual work and get everyone paid on time.

“People First payroll allows team members to go into their profile and view their estimated pay for that month. Previously, we were often asked by team members who had worked overtime how much they were going to be paid, but now this is in the system available to them.”

View case study

“We're really excited to be moving over to the fully integrated People First payroll platform. It will save us an awful lot of time when processing payroll, through streamlining the process and minimising human error.”

Everything you need in one place

Intelligent rostering

Rotas are based on your team’s existing shifts, working patterns, and absences to give you the full picture without hours of admin. Employees are notified as soon as shifts are published so everyone knows where they need to be.

Real-time attendance

People First works around the clock so you don’t have to. Employees can clock in and out quickly from anywhere, giving managers an up-to-date view of attendance. All of this flows directly into payroll for fuss-free pay runs.

Automatic timesheets

Our rota management system enforces working time regulations upfront and applies pay rules such as overtime for you. This means fewer manual checks and calculations, and a smoother payday for everyone.
