The Shift Roster page in the greytHR ESS portal provides you as a manager with an overview of your team members' shift details for the previous, current, and future months. You can also override the existing planned shifts and make some strategic decisions. The changes made on the page reflect throughout the Attendance module. The filter option is used to filter and search for a particular team member and view shift details. You can also download the month-wise shift roster for all your team members and override shifts in bulk.
