Create a Staff Roster Online
A staff roster is a practical list of who works which shift and when. Instead of rebuilding an employee roster in a spreadsheet every week, paste your team into the free roster generator above and it fills each shift day by day across the whole period.
This online roster maker runs in your browser with no installation and no account. Choose a fixed weekly pattern for a simple team rota, or choose a rotating pattern for day, night, and off shifts. When you are done, export the result as CSV to open in Excel or Google Sheets, or print it as a PDF.
Example weekly employee roster
| Employee | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alice | Day | Day | Off | Night | Night |
| Bob | Night | Off | Day | Day | Off |
This is the kind of weekly duty roster the generator creates for your team. Add more employees, choose a longer date range, and adjust any assignment before exporting the finished roster.
Weekly duty roster, one click
Switch between the team view and a single employee's personal roster, and adjust any shift by clicking or dragging. Every view exports the same way, so the copy you send your team always matches what you see on screen.
Frequently asked questions
How do I generate a roster?
Add your employees, choose a shift pattern, and set a start date. The roster generator assigns each day, night, and off shift, then lets you export the weekly roster as CSV or print it as a PDF.
Is there a free online roster generator?
Yes. This roster generator is free, runs in your browser, and needs no signup. Generate and download as many rosters as you like.
Can I get an automatic roster generator?
The tool fills every shift automatically from the pattern you pick, then lets you click or drag any cell to adjust it.
What formats can I export my roster in?
Export a roster as CSV for Excel or Google Sheets, print it as a PDF, download a PNG for sharing, or add shifts to a calendar with an ICS file.
How many employees can I roster?
Paste a list of employee names and the generator assigns shifts across the whole team. Rotating patterns work best when you provide one employee or crew member for each crew.
Is there an AI roster generator?
This tool is an automatic roster generator based on predefined shift patterns, not an AI service. It creates consistent day, night, and off assignments without sending your employee names to a server.
What is a work roster?
A work roster (also called a duty roster or staff roster) is a schedule that lists who works which shift on which day for the whole team.
What is the difference between a roster and a schedule?
A roster focuses on assigning people to shifts, while a schedule can describe the wider timing of work. In practice, staff roster, employee schedule, and duty roster often refer to the same weekly planning document.
Can I make an employee roster in Excel?
Yes. Build the roster here, choose Roster (CSV) from the Export menu, and open the downloaded file in Excel or Google Sheets for further editing.
How do I create a weekly duty roster?
Enter your team, choose a pattern, select the start date, and keep the range at four weeks or change it to eight weeks. Generate the roster, adjust any cells, then print or export it.
Can I create a roster for multiple shifts?
Yes. Patterns with day and night coverage assign multiple shift types automatically. You can also set shift times, minimum people per shift, days off, and preferences before generating.
