Moving your rota off paper in one week

Most teams that move from paper keep the old rota on the wall for one more week, and that is fine (sample guide).

On Monday, put your staff list into a spreadsheet: name, mobile number and the sites each person works at. On Tuesday, copy next week’s paper rota into the planner. On Wednesday, invite everyone; they get a text with a link.

By pay day you can check the clock-in times against the signing-in book once. After that, most managers stop keeping the book.
