Employee profiles and user management, connected to your rota Flexible staff settings, team membership and simple per-user billing

Manage each employee’s job title, working pattern, contracted hours, leave allowance, pay, teams and clocking settings from one FlowRota profile.

Keep the information behind scheduling and attendance together, with straightforward options to archive and reinstate employees as your team changes.

£1 per active user per month

One user profile for the employment details that shape every schedule

FlowRota uses employee profile settings throughout rota planning, leave, pay, clocking and reports. Keep the key information in one place so shifts and connected workflows reflect each person’s working arrangements.

Keep user administration practical as the workforce changes

Configure each person’s working details, keep staff organised across teams and avoid ongoing charges for archived users.

Pay only for active users

Each active employee costs £1 per month; archived users cost nothing.

Archive and reinstate

Archive employees who leave or become inactive, and reinstate them when needed.

Keep complete employee profiles

Set contracted hours, working patterns, pay, leave and other settings in one place.

Organise staff across teams

Assign primary and secondary team memberships to reflect where employees work.

Configure employee clocking

Choose individual clock-on settings to support your attendance workflows.

Keep hours and allowances connected

Use profile hours and leave settings throughout rota, leave and reporting workflows.

Simple per-user pricing that responds when the workforce changes

Active users cost £1 per month. Archiving removes the user from chargeable access, while reinstatement makes the profile active again.

£1 per active user

FlowRota charges a fixed £1 per active user each month after the 30-day free trial.

The pricing stays clear
  • One clear monthly price for each active user
  • No charge for users while they are archived
  • Employee settings connect to scheduling, leave and time tracking
  • Manage pay and contracted hours in each user profile
  • Reinstate archived employees when they return

Archived users are not charged

Archive a user when they should no longer remain active in FlowRota. Archived users are not included in the monthly charge.

Archiving helps when
  • An employee leaves the organisation
  • A seasonal worker is temporarily inactive
  • A user should no longer be available for scheduling
  • The business wants to stop the ongoing user charge
  • The profile may need to be reinstated later

Mid-month archiving is pro-rated

If a user is archived partway through the billing month, the chargeable amount for that user is calculated on a pro-rata basis.

This means
  • The user does not remain charged for the full month
  • The charge reflects the chargeable part of the billing period
  • Archiving can take place when it is actually needed
  • The billing treatment follows the status change
  • The user can still be reinstated at another time

Active users cost £1 per month; archived users cost £0. If archiving happens midway through the billing month, the chargeable amount is pro-rated.

Configure the employment details behind each employee’s rota

The user profile gives FlowRota the information needed to schedule, cost, track and report on the employee’s work.

Role and working pattern

Profile settings include
  • The employee’s job title
  • Their working pattern
  • Contracted working hours
  • Historical hours data
  • The information used during rota planning

See how these details support staff scheduling .

Leave and allowance settings

Set the allowances and working information used when the employee requests or receives time away.

The profile can hold
  • Annual-leave allowance
  • Custom leave allowances
  • Contracted-hour context
  • Historical hours used by connected calculations
  • The team responsibility behind leave approval

Explore leave allowances and manager approvals .

Pay, teams and clocking

Connect the employee to the teams where they work and choose the pay and clocking settings that apply.

Managers can configure
  • Salaried or hourly-paid status
  • The employee’s hourly rate where applicable
  • Primary and secondary team memberships
  • Individual clock-on settings
  • The profile used across shifts and reports

Learn how teams and permissions control scheduling and manager responsibilities.

Organise employees across the teams they work in

Profiles connect staff to their primary and secondary teams, bringing team membership together with the employment details used for rotas and approvals.

Primary team

Set an employee’s main team within FlowRota, helping to establish where their core scheduling and leave responsibilities sit.

Useful for
  • Organising employee rotas by team
  • Keeping the employee’s main team clear
  • Supporting the relevant leave approval workflow

Secondary teams

Connect employees to other teams where they also work, rather than treating each team as a separate employee profile.

Useful for
  • Staff who work across departments
  • Businesses with more than one operational team
  • Maintaining the same employment settings for one employee

Individual working settings

Keep working patterns, pay and clock-on preferences with the employee, while their team memberships provide scheduling context.

Keep together
  • Working pattern and contracted hours
  • Pay details and leave allowances
  • Clock-on settings and historical hours
