Publish it a week ahead, keep a copy at the site, and update it the same day when someone is absent, so no area goes uncleaned.

A housekeeping duty roster format makes that visible for each site, a week ahead, including weekly offs and relievers. Download the CSV below. ## Housekeeping duty roster format: columns - Site, week starting - Staff name, role (housekeeper, supervisor, pantry) - Shift (morning, general, evening, night) - Monday to Sunday: area assigned or "OFF" - Reliever for the weekly off - Remarks (training, double shift) ## Making the roster - List the areas and shifts the contract requires. - Assign each staff member an area per shift. - Spread weekly offs so the site is never short. - Name a reliever for every off day. - Share with staff and the site supervisor by Saturday. ## Daily changes - Absent staff: assign the reliever and update the roster the same morning. - Client requests (event, deep cleaning): note extra staff and hours. - Keep the changes; they are the basis for the month's attendance and billing. ## Roster, attendance and billing The roster says who should be there; attendance says who was. Compare them weekly.
