Pay only makes sense when it is anchored to your real shifts

A rotating rota changes which hours are day, night, weekend, or public holiday — and those hours are usually paid differently. Work Hours & Pay ties those rules to the schedule you already keep, so scheduled hours and pay stay honest instead of living in a separate spreadsheet.

What the pay view can surface

  • Scheduled hours from your saved shift hours and start times
  • Estimated gross pay from your hourly rate and pay cycle
  • Day and night working times, unpaid breaks, and currency per schedule
  • Overtime rules, premiums, and multipliers without manual arithmetic

How Work Hours & Pay stays close to your rota

You set day and night working times, unpaid breaks, hourly rates, and a pay cycle once per schedule. RotaFlow then shows scheduled hours and an estimated gross pay figure that follows the same pattern, swaps, and special days already in your calendar. Overnight shifts flow naturally into the next day when the end time is earlier than the start time, so there is no extra toggle to remember.

Use it as an estimate, and keep the details local

Rates, premiums, and earnings stay on your device as local schedule data — the feature is optional and introduces no new paid tier. Pro users can go further with day and night rates, weekend and public-holiday multipliers, overtime rules, and date-specific working-time overrides. Treat the total as a planning estimate, not a payslip, and let the rota do the arithmetic while you keep the context.
