someone with a PhD.’

Task 16 Justification of developed roster to meet operational requirements
considering factors /2
Once the rosters are developed it is important to analyse the considerations that has been
taken into account of social and cultural aspects. This is to foster meeting the broader
organisational requirements and policies that influence the roster.
With assistance from you, the new manager has finally developed a roster chased on the
needs of the staff members as stated in Appendix 3.
Your task is to:
to provide a detailed reason as to why you have given staff their shift.Must state
reasons for each individual staff member (as stated in Appendix 3)
For Kerry, she likes to do job in week days from 9.00 am to 5.30 pm. Therefore, I
give her such schedule. However, we need someone to look after the customer
requirement on Sunday morning and therefore assign her Sunday morning shift.
Caitlin is a veteran and loyal employee of ACA Travel Agency. Therefore, we
should keep her requirements and give her a flexible shift of 8.00 to 16.00
Bill helps us a lot with taking the responsibilities in the night shift. There are few
employees who want to do work in such shift. However, we are lucky to have Bill
amongst us. Therefore I give him a night shift and he loves to do night shift jobs.
Mathew is also helping to do night shift. However, he is associated with the State
Cricket Team. Therefore, he is unable to do job on Saturday afternoons. I set a shift

for him 1 pm to 9pm generally but for Saturday I altered it to
8am to 14 am so that he can play and make us proud.
Noah is a religious person and does not want to take shift after sunset. As a result
of that I give her a flexible shift.
Sam is a single mother and keeping in mind of her son we give her a shift 7.00 am
to 16.00pm and free her from weekend shifts so that she can look after her son.
Caroline is also a dedicated employee of ACA Travel Agency. However, she has
to do a weekend shift on Saturday. However, she can go out in Saturday as her
shift is fixed up to 5 pm.
Kim Li has a restaurant but she likes to come early in the office. I give her the shift
of 6.30 to 7.00 in the morning so that she can do both the job simultaneously.
Task 17 Maintenance and Evaluation of Staff Roster and Records 4 Marks
It is imperative to keep employee’s records within the organisation andmaintain accuracy of
information to avoid penalty or infringement notice due topossessionof incorrect information
of employees. Formore information, visit www.fairwork.gov.au
Your task is to provide written information of the following questionnaires: (2 Marks for each
questions)
a) Outline what records must be kept and how you would maintain staff records? /1
My principle aim was to make a 24*7 office hours so that the customers can get
benefits. Moreover, the problems and requirements of the employees also kept in
mind. Therefore, I set the roaster in such a way that everyone from the customers to
the employees would be benefitted. In fact, there is no such time before 11pm when
the office will be vacant so that it would deliver a good message to the customers
about our dedication towards them.
b) Who would you consult with regarding the roster and how can you ensure that it has
been effective?(List names/ positions of those who require this information) /1
Before going to set the roaster I have consulted with the higher management, that is,
my senior store manager and the Owner managers as well. I gave them the purpose
and the objectives before planning the roaster and they gave me the leverage to go for
it.
c) State who can access these records in ACA Travel Agency? /1
Only the higher management that means the owner managers and the store
department can access the records. However, to keep a transparency every week we
share the roaster with the employees through MS-Excel so that they will also get the
information.
d) Outline how, through discussion with the above-mentioned people, the roster
development processes may be improved and what appropriate action would you
takeaccordingly? /1
It will be better if we share the objectives and visions of the company with the rest of
the employees. In my opinion, only Kerry and Caroline may have any problem
because they like to do job only on week days. However, we have no other options
but provide her an alternative weekend job. As they are part of a team and also
experienced enough it is also their responsibility to take it maturely.
