The problem
By the time a roster is published, an expensive staffing pattern can be hard to see and harder to change. Managers need to assess cost alongside coverage while the week is still a draft.
Weekli’s approach
Weekli estimates roster cost from configured role rates, paid hours and day multipliers as shifts are added and assigned. The total is a planning signal, with issue indicators for shifts that do not have the information needed for an estimate.
The estimate helps a manager compare cost with the coverage the operation needs before publishing. It is not payroll or award interpretation; final pay still depends on actual hours and the workplace’s applicable obligations.
