Canada rules

What Rosie enforces on a Canada schedule.

These are Rosie’s starting settings for Canada: the same values it checks every shift against, not a summary of them. Where a value comes from the law, the source is linked. Your agreements may be stricter than the law, so you can set your own maximum hours and minimum rest between shifts, rules for each employment type, and weekend and public holiday pay rates.

Straight answers

Schedules in Canada, answered.

  • Is Rosie available in Canada?

    Yes. Rosie knows Canada's employment rules for breaks, leave and young workers, and prices in CAD. It runs in a web browser, so there is nothing to install.

  • How much does Rosie cost in CAD?

    Rosie is C$39 a month (CAD) for up to 25 staff, then C$1.50 a month for each extra staff member. That's one plan with everything in it: Rosie writing the schedule, the staff app, availability, leave, shift swaps, timesheets and Xero.

  • Can Rosie handle Canadian employment rules?

    Yes. Rosie knows the break, rest and young-worker rules for Canada. You can set your own maximum hours and minimum rest between shifts, rules for each employment type, and weekend and public holiday pay rates. Rosie checks the schedule against them before you send it out.

  • How does Rosie write the schedule?

    You tell it how many people you need on each shift, and who can work which roles and when. Rosie then works out who can work each shift, keeping to your rules and sharing the hours fairly. You check the result, drag anything you want to change, and send it out.

  • Is there a free trial?

    Yes. Rosie is free for 30 days, with no card needed, and you get everything during the trial. That's long enough to run two full fortnightly pay cycles before you decide.

  • Can my team see the schedule on their phones?

    Yes. Staff get the Rosie app, where they see their shifts, ask for time off, swap shifts and clock in and out.
