Why MyRota

Stop running your rota out of a shared spreadsheet.

You didn't start a business to spend Sunday nights counting hours.

Today

Excel, WhatsApp and Sunday-night maths.

  • Excel rotas nobody can read on a phone
  • Last-minute texts asking who's working tomorrow
  • Manually counting hours for payroll on Sunday night
  • Guessing whether you're inside Irish working-time rules
  • Holiday requests over WhatsApp — and lost

With MyRota

One place. One click. Done.

  • Mobile-first rota every employee can see
  • One-click publish — emailed straight to your team
  • CSV and Excel exports ready in one click
  • Shifts flagged when they may breach the OWT Act 1997
  • Leave, balances and approvals in one inbox
What's inside

Everything you need to run staff. Nothing you don't.

One subscription. No add-ons. No “Enterprise” upsells.

Drag-and-drop rota builder

Click a cell, set the times, done. Copy last week with one click. Drag shifts between days and employees. Quick-shift presets for common patterns.

Irish-aware compliance hints

Helps flag potential issues against the OWT Act 1997, Sick Leave Act 2022, Sunday premium, daily/weekly rest, breaks, under-18s and PRSI thresholds. Hints only — not legal advice.

Leave & balances

Annual, sick, force-majeure and parental leave with automatic Irish-rule entitlements. Days in lieu (TOIL) supported.

Payroll-ready exports

CSV and Excel exports with regular, Sunday and bank-holiday hours separated. Hand straight to your accountant or BrightPay.

A free app for your team

Every employee gets the MyRota app on their phone — shifts, leave and sick days in one tap. Installs to the home screen and opens full-screen like any app. No App Store, no download.

Alerts that matter

Probation ending. Contract expiring. Visa or cert about to lapse. Missing payroll details. All in one inbox.

Full employee profiles

Personal details, employment, pay history, documents, training, assets, HR notes, onboarding & offboarding checklists — all per employee.

Training & cert tracking

Manual handling, first aid, GDPR, food safety — track who's done what and get reminded before certs expire.

HR notes & audit trail

Meeting notes, grievances, disciplinary records — permission-controlled. Every change to an employee record is logged with who, what and when.

Salary history

Every pay change is recorded with a reason, effective date, and approver. Future-dated changes apply automatically on the date.

Bank holidays handled

Hard-coded Irish public-holiday dates — highlighted on the rota, flagged in compliance, separated in payroll.

Simple over powerful

No training needed. A manager can build their first rota in under 10 minutes.

The rota

The grid your team will actually use.

Click any cell to add a shift. Drag to move it. Each employee gets their own colour so the whole week is readable at a glance. Bank holidays, Sunday premiums and compliance issues are flagged inline — no second screen, no menus.

  • Quick-shift presets (Full day, Half day, anything you save)
  • Copy last week in one click
  • Per-employee colours · headcount per day · weekly totals
  • Compliance badges on the offending cell
  • Click an employee to open their full HR profile

How it works

You'll be running your rota by lunch.

1

Sign up in 60 seconds

No card, no install. Add your business name, choose how your week runs. That's it.

2

Add your team

Drop in names, hourly rates and contracted hours. Send a one-time link by WhatsApp so they can set their password and see their shifts on their phone.

3

Build the first rota

Click cells. Save. Click Publish — everyone gets an email with their personal week. Compliance hints appear as you go.

Irish-first

Irish-aware compliance hints, built in.

MyRota helps you flag common Irish working-time and leave issues before you publish — so you can spot them, review them and decide what to do.

Hints, not legal advice. These checks are a second pair of eyes, not a substitute for your accountant or HR adviser. Rules and thresholds change — always confirm against the current published guidance.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You get 14 days free with up to 5 employees, no card required. We'll only ask once you're ready to keep going past the trial.

Is MyRota actually for Ireland specifically?

Yes. MyRota has built-in checks that flag common issues under the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997, the Sick Leave Act 2022, the Protection of Young Persons (Employment) Act 1996 and Revenue PRSI thresholds. Irish bank holidays are pre-loaded. These are hints, not legal advice — always confirm with your accountant or HR adviser.

Is there an app for my staff?

Yes. Every employee gets the MyRota app on their phone. On iPhone (Safari → Share → Add to Home Screen) and Android (Chrome → Add to Home Screen) it gets a home-screen icon and launches full-screen — exactly like a native app — without ever touching the App Store or Play Store. They just open it to see their shifts, request leave and log a sick day.

What if my employees don't have an email?

You can generate a one-time invite link and share it via WhatsApp, SMS or in person. They set a password and they're in.

Can I export my data to my payroll software?

Yes. CSV, Excel (.xlsx), BrightPay and Thesaurus formats are all built in. Each separates regular hours from Sunday and bank-holiday hours so PRSI/USC handling is straightforward. Hand straight to your accountant.

What happens if I cancel?

You go to read-only mode for 30 days so you can export all your data. After that the data is permanently deleted. You can also export-and-delete on demand from Settings → Danger zone.

Is my data safe?

Data is stored in EU-region Postgres and Storage (Supabase), with documents and certificates locked behind short-lived signed URLs. We never share your data with third parties.

Do you offer support?

Yes. Use the in-app Support button or the contact form at /contact — both go straight to a real person. Email reply within one business day for all plans, priority on Pro.
