Enter your shifts - or scan a photo of your roster - and it works out your pay from your actual award or agreement: every penalty, allowance and overtime hour. No more guessing, no more payslip surprises. MyRoster requires a paid subscription. Start with a free trial to make sure MyRoster is right for you. BUILT FOR YOUR JOB Permanent, Casual and those with multiple jobs. • Nurses & Midwives - Australian state and federal awards, the UK's NHS (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), New Zealand & Private Nurses working under Ramsay, Mater, St Vincents, Calvary or Healthscope. • Doctors - Australian public hospital awards, every state and territory. • Paramedics - state ambulance awards and agreements, nationwide. • Transport Workers - rail and bus enterprise agreements across Australia. • Police - Australian police awards, every state and territory. • NDIS - Australian NDIS workers under the Award or Self Employed. • Every other shift worker including Retail workers, Hospitality staff, FIFO roles such as Mining and many more — set your own rates, penalties and rules, and MyRoster does the maths for any job, anywhere in the world.

SHARE WITH FRIENDS • Add friends and colleagues and see when they're rostered on or want to swap a shift, right in your calendar. • You control what's shared — wages, notes and personal details never are. ASK AI • Ask about your pay in plain English: "How much did I earn last fortnight?", "What would my pay be if I was a CNS?", "What are my break entitlements?", "How many meal allowances should I have been paid?" and so much more. • Wage breakdowns for any date range, "what if" scenarios and award questions. • Runs on-device for privacy on supported iPhones (15 Pro and newer), with Claude and ChatGPT for complex questions. AI is currently included in your subscription; it may become a separate paid feature in a future release.
