How to Use This Template
Follow these practical steps to customize and roll out this procedure with your team:
1. Attach the evidence
Attach the receipt, invoice, or approval for every amount entered.
2. Check the maths twice
Re-add every column before you submit; most rejections come from simple addition errors.

Key Sections Explained
Understanding what goes in each part of the document helps you fill it in correctly the first time:
Title and period
What the schedule covers and the date range, week, month, or project phase, so readers orient instantly.
Publication and updates
Where the current version lives and how changes are communicated, so nobody works from an old copy.
Time slots
The rows or columns marking time divisions, sized appropriately for the granularity you need.
Notes and exceptions
Holidays, swaps, cover arrangements, and anything deviating from the normal pattern.
Assignments
Who does what and when, in the grid cells. Names should be unambiguous, no nicknames.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if someone is repeatedly late or absent?
Address it privately with the attendance record as evidence, following your disciplinary policy. The schedule is the standard; enforcement must be consistent.
How do we handle swap requests?
Have a simple written process: who approves, how cover is confirmed, and where the updated schedule lives. Informal swaps that nobody records cause double-booking chaos.
How far in advance should schedules be published?
As far as your operation allows, two weeks is a good minimum for shift work. Late schedules breed resentment and no-shows.
What is the fairest way to handle unpopular shifts?
Rotate them transparently with the rotation visible in the schedule itself. Perceived favouritism in scheduling poisons team morale faster than almost anything else.
