Enter your shifts or snap a photo of your rota, and MyRoster works out your pay: every enhancement, unsocial hours payment, allowance and overtime hour. Know what you'll earn before your payslip arrives. MyRoster requires a paid subscription. Start with a free trial to make sure it's right for you. BUILT FOR YOUR JOB Full-time, part-time, or working more than one job. • NHS Nurses, Midwives & Healthcare Assistants: Agenda for Change bands in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, from support workers to matrons. • Any other shift job, from care and retail to hospitality and transport: set your own rates, enhancements and rules and MyRoster does the maths. • Also built for nurses, doctors, paramedics and police in Australia and New Zealand.
