Excluding an Employee from Departmental Cross Rostering

This article will show you how to exclude an employee from departmental cross-rostering in Alkimii.

Please note that this feature has been introduced to exclude Senior Managers from cross-rostering. 

All employees are currently set up for departmental cross-rostering by default on Alkimii, however, it is possible to exclude an employee for this. 

  • Using the Mega Menu, search "Staff Profiles" 

  • You will see along the top headings that there is now a column for "Cross Roster" 
  • In this column, you will see
    • A green tick, meaning the employee can be rostered across departments
    • A red X, meaning the employee has been excluded from departmental cross rostering 

  • To exclude an employee from this option, locate the employee's profile using either the filter options, search bar or scroll through the employee list 

  • Once located, click on the employee's profile
  • Along the left navigation bar, click "Employment Details" 

  • Scroll down to "Roster" 
  • Here you will see a list of checkbox options, select the checkbox for "exclude from cross roster"

  • Once selected a blue tick will appear in the check box 

  • Click Save 

  • Go back out to your employee list in the Staff Profile view 
  • You should now see a red "X" under the column for this employee 

Please be advised that once an employee has been excluded from departmental cross rostering, they can only be rostered within their department and will not be visible in the "All" view in the week roster or today's roster screen. 

  • Navigate to the "Week Roster" screen, using the mega menu 

  • On the "All" view, if you try to create a new shift for this employee, it will not allow you to select their name from the list of employees 

  • Instead, you will have to use the department selector at the bottom of your screen to scroll across to the employee's department which in this example is reception

  • You will see the employee's name within this list and will have the ability to create their shifts as normal. 

Please note: If you try to create a new shift for this employee within another department in the week's roster or today's roster, their name will not appear in the drop-down list of employees.
