YOUR TEAM, ORGANISED

ROSTERS, TIMESHEETS AND LEAVE IN ONE PLACE.

Building a roster by hand, chasing hours worked, and approving leave over WhatsApp all take time an owner doesn't have. ZANAVA lets you plan who works when, approve the hours they actually worked, and handle leave requests without the chat-group chaos, all feeding straight into payroll. What was three separate systems becomes one.

STAFF & SHIFTS

WHAT IT COVERS

A high-level look at what Staff & Shifts does inside ZANAVA.

A restaurant rostering split shifts, a salon booking staff around appointments, and a retailer covering weekend trade all need the same thing: a roster that's easy to build and timesheets that are easy to trust. ZANAVA's staff and shifts module is built generically enough to fit all three, with roles and access tuned to each.

01

SHIFT SCHEDULING

Build rosters for each store and role, and share clock-in codes so managers control attendance.

02

TIMESHEETS

Capture and approve worked hours that flow directly into payroll, no double entry.

03

LEAVE MANAGEMENT

Track leave requests and balances so you always know who's available.

04

ROLES & ACCESS

Owner, manager and cashier roles mean each person sees exactly what they need.

WHERE THIS USUALLY BREAKS DOWN

The problems that show up before a business puts Staff & Shifts in place.

ROSTERS BUILT FROM SCRATCH EVERY WEEK

Without a reusable roster, managers rebuild the same shift pattern by hand week after week, and mistakes creep in.

TIMESHEETS DON'T MATCH WHAT WAS ACTUALLY WORKED

Self-reported hours with no approval step are an easy way to quietly lose money on payroll.

LEAVE REQUESTS GET LOST IN A CHAT GROUP

A leave request buried in WhatsApp is easy to miss, and double-booked leave leaves a shift uncovered.

EVERYONE CAN SEE EVERYTHING

Without role-based access, a cashier can see the same sensitive data as the owner, which is both a trust and a compliance problem.

✱ BEST PRACTICE

HOW TO DO THIS PROPERLY

01

TEMPLATE YOUR ROSTER, THEN ADJUST

Start from last week's pattern and adjust for exceptions, rather than building from a blank grid every time.

02

APPROVE HOURS BEFORE THEY HIT PAYROLL

A timesheet approval step, even a quick one, catches errors before they turn into an incorrect payslip.

03

KEEP LEAVE BALANCES VISIBLE TO STAFF

When staff can see their own leave balance, requests get more accurate and disputes get rarer.

04

MATCH ACCESS TO RESPONSIBILITY

Give each role exactly the access it needs. A cashier doesn't need payroll visibility, and a manager doesn't need every store's financials.

✱ WHY IT MATTERS

THE PAYOFF FOR YOUR BUSINESS

  • Stop the back-and-forth of building rosters by hand
  • Pay people accurately from approved timesheets
  • Keep leave balances clean and disputes rare

✱ FAQ

QUESTIONS OWNERS ASK

Can I build a roster separately for each store?

Yes. Each store has its own roster and shift schedule, built around the roles that store actually needs.

Do approved timesheets feed automatically into payroll?

Yes. Once a timesheet is approved, the hours flow directly into payroll with no re-entry required.

Can staff see their own leave balance?

Yes. Staff can view their leave balance and submit requests, which managers approve directly in the system.
