How Much Does Bad Scheduling Cost You?
The hidden cost of WhatsApp rosters, double-bookings, and last-minute call-outs is real. Punch in your headcount, average wage, and how many hours your managers spend rostering each week — we'll estimate what OnPointShifts saves you. Conservative numbers based on real-world operator data.
How The Numbers Are Built
No magic. Three conservative levers, each grounded in what operators actually report after switching.
Manager Time Reclaimed
Operators on OnPointShifts report 65–80% reduction in time spent building schedules per location per week. The calculator uses a conservative 70% reduction applied to your input × locations × manager hourly cost × 52 weeks.
Labour Percentage Trim
Live labour-band visibility on the schedule grid surfaces over-scheduling at draft time, before publish. The conservative figure is a 1.5 percentage point reduction on total payroll spend, applied across the year.
What's Not Counted
This estimate excludes harder-to-quantify wins: reduced staff churn from fair scheduling, BCEA compliance penalties avoided, faster payroll close, reduced double-payments from missed clock-outs. Real-world ROI tends to land 30–60% higher than this calculator shows.
