Weekly Schedule Template

The classic seven-day grid. Plan each employee’s shifts for the week ahead, with a running staff count per day so coverage gaps show up before they happen.

2. FREE TEMPLATE

Biweekly / Fortnight Schedule Template

Two weeks side by side. Useful for fortnightly pay cycles or rosters that alternate week to week — plan both weeks at once and keep them consistent.

3. FREE TEMPLATE

Monthly Schedule Template

A whole month at a glance, one column per day. Simple shift codes (AM, PM, N, OFF) keep it readable even with a bigger team.

4. FREE TEMPLATE

Rotating Shift Schedule Template

A 4-team, 28-day rotation with morning, evening, and night shifts pre-filled — plus a coverage check so every shift stays staffed. Swap in your own rotation if you run a different cycle.

5. FREE TEMPLATE

Daily Schedule Template

One day at a time. Start, end, and break times for each employee — with total hours calculated for you in the Excel version.
