Rota Foundation
Shipped & active in production
An org structure that matches yours
Groups, stations, watches and officer pools, configurable to your service rather than a fixed template, with people imported straight from your MusterHub directory
PlatformAdmin
One tap from MusterHub, no second login
Rota trusts your existing MusterHub sign-in and hands off from the app in one tap. Nominate a rota administrator in your admin portal and they're set up on first visit.
SafeguardsPlatform
Repeating patterns, any cycle length
From a classic 2-2-4 to 3-week and 8-week rotas, edited a week per row and generated automatically every night
Admin
Station planner & day view
A week per station at a glance with coverage flags, drilling into an hour-by-hour day view with drag-to-resize bookings. Phones get a who's-on list built for a 30-second check.
AdminSelf-service
Self-service availability
On-call crew book themselves on and off call, set a recurring weekly availability once, and adjust any single day afterwards
Self-service
Booking codes your way
Org-defined codes with colours, working and availability flags, approval rules and restricted codes. Retired codes archive cleanly with their history kept.

Crewing & Safeguards
Shipped & active in production
Appliance crewing rules
Define what each appliance needs to ride: skills, minimum crew and reduced-crew bands, with fill priorities when appliances compete for the same people
Crewing
Rider board
Who is riding right now with the skills the crewing rules care about, including a heads-up when a qualification lapses later this week
Crewing
Deficit heatmap with appliance detail
Every station under a group compared across the day. Each row expands to a per-appliance breakdown, and reserves can be excluded so an unmanned spare doesn't read as a crisis.
CrewingAdmin
Competency-checked shift swaps
Swap requests show exactly which required skills the incoming person is missing before anyone approves, with a dedicated override permission for the judgement calls
CrewingApprovals
Rest & dual-contract safeguards
Minimum rest between duties and extra buffers when someone works two contracts. Unsafe back-to-back bookings are refused before they happen, with a trusted override for exceptions.
Safeguards
Watch-level leave caps
No more than your chosen number on leave at once per watch, checked at approval time, with an Area Manager override when it genuinely has to bend
ApprovalsSafeguards
Append-only audit trail
Every change recorded in the same transaction that made it, filterable by person and date, with names and readable dates rather than identifiers

Leave, TOIL & Overtime
Shipped July 2026
Leave balances that keep themselves
An append-only leave ledger: accruals and carry-over entered once, deductions posted automatically the moment leave is approved and reversed if it's cancelled or resized
Leave & TOIL
Overtime claims & TOIL
Crew claim overtime with the date worked and how it pays. Approving a TOIL claim credits the balance automatically, and booking TOIL leave spends it. Two separate balances, never mixed up.
Leave & TOILApprovals
One approvals inbox
Leave requests, swaps and overtime claims in a single page with a live count in the navigation, instead of three different places to check
Approvals
Balance guard
Codes can refuse a booking the moment it would take a leave or TOIL balance below zero, so nothing quietly goes negative
Leave & TOILSafeguards
Personal calendar feed
Subscribe your phone or desktop calendar to a private link and your shifts appear automatically, updating on their own. Regenerate the link any time to revoke it.
CalendarSelf-service
Hours reconciliation
Contracted versus worked hours per person per month, driven by each contract's weekly hours and the person's FTE

Notifications & Smarter Cover
Shipped July 2026
Approval notifications
Managers hear the moment something needs a decision; crew hear the moment theirs is made. No more checking back.
ApprovalsSelf-service
Cover requests
Offer an open shift to eligible crew and let the first qualified acceptance win, instead of ringing round
CrewingSelf-service
Leave year automation
Annual entitlements and carry-over rules applied automatically at year end, with the ledger showing exactly what happened and why

Reporting & Payroll
Payroll export and print packs shipped July 2026; coverage trends next
Payroll export
Cash overtime and worked hours exported in a format your payroll system can ingest, straight from the same records the approvals produced
AdminPlatform
Coverage trends
Cover gaps tracked across weeks and months, so "we're always short on Tuesday nights" is a chart rather than a hunch
CrewingAdmin
Print-friendly rota packs
A clean weekly rota for the station noticeboard, because some walls still want paper

Deeper Platform Ties
Targeted for 9-18 months
Rota inside the MusterHub app
First pieces live: your Rota shifts now appear in the app calendar, and a Duty Roster tab opens the module from the More screen. Deeper native integration to follow.
Self-servicePlatform
Availability-aware turnout alerts
Turnout filtering driven directly by Rota bookings, so alerts follow who is actually on call according to the module that knows
CrewingPlatform
Auto-fill suggestions
When a gap opens, see who could cover it ranked by skills, rest rules and how much they've already worked
Crewing
What-if planning
Draft a rota change side by side with today's before publishing it, and see what it does to coverage first
