Rosterspace & Affinity
Award-interpreted rostering and time & attendance, connected to your payroll
Rosterspace are full rostering, time & attendance and award interpretation experts. Through a pre-built, bi-directional API, Rosterspace sends fully interpreted time straight into Affinity, and Affinity sends employee details and leave balances back – so both systems stay in sync without manual handling.
Explore the platformAward interpretation is where rostering meets payroll
Modern awards and enterprise agreements in Australia, and collective and individual employment agreements in New Zealand, are complex – overtime, allowances, penalties, split shifts and multi-role days all have to be interpreted correctly before anyone is paid. Get it wrong at the roster, and the error flows all the way through to the pay run.
Rosterspace solves this at the source. Their workforce management platform handles rostering and time & attendance, then applies powerful award interpretation to turn raw shifts into accurate, fully costed time. That interpreted time flows directly into Affinity, ready to pay.
No exports, no spreadsheets, no re-keying. Just clean, interpreted time in – and accurate, compliant pay out.
A pre-built, two-way integration
The Rosterspace and Affinity integration is already built and ready to go. Data flows automatically in both directions, so each platform does what it does best while sharing a single, consistent view of your workforce.
Interpreted time, into payroll
Rosterspace sends fully award-interpreted time into Affinity – hours already broken down by ordinary time, overtime, penalties and allowances. Affinity receives pay-ready data, so your team processes pay runs with confidence instead of re-interpreting shifts by hand.
Employee details and leave balances, back
Affinity sends employee details and up-to-date leave balances back to Rosterspace. Managers roster against accurate information – who's available, what leave they have, and the latest employee data – without switching systems or chasing payroll for numbers.
