Roster guardrail rules
Every warning and blocking rule the schedule checks, what triggers it, and how to override or fix it.
The schedule checks these rules on every change, on the device, and again on the server when you publish. Warnings can be overridden with a reason; blocking issues cannot.
Blocking rules
| Rule | Trigger | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Expired foreign-worker permit | The person's permit expiry is before the shift date | Record the renewed permit under Team › Compliance, or roster someone else |
| Missing or expired food-handler certificate | A food-contact station and no valid food-handler training or anti-typhoid record | Record the certificate under Team › Training & certs |
| Blocked certification gap | The station requires a certification the person lacks | Assign training or roster someone qualified |
Warning rules
| Rule | Trigger |
|---|---|
| Minor after curfew | A person underrostered into restricted hours |
| Shift overhours | A single shift longer thanhours including breaks |
| Week overhours | Total rostered hours in the week exceed 55 |
| Insufficient rest | Less than the required rest between the end of one shift and the start of the next |
| Leave overlap | The person has approved leave on that day |
| Cross-outlet float | The person is rostered at an outlet other than their home outlet |
| Expired typhoid certificate | The anti-typhoid record has lapsed |
Overriding a warning
Open the cell, choose Override, type the reason, and tick Employee agreed. The override is stored with the shift and shown on the published roster.
Coverage and cost
Under each day the roster shows coverage against the minimum staffing you set and, with analytics access, scheduled labour cost against same-day sales. Labour above 32% of sales is shown in red. These are informational, not blocking.
Scope
These rules reflect the Employment Actas amended infor Peninsular Malaysia and Labuan. Sabah and Sarawak differ; outlets there see a banner rather than a wrong number. The rules help you comply; they do not replace your HR adviser.
