# RosterMate > RosterMate is a 100% New Zealand–owned rostering, time-tracking, workforce management, and payroll platform built natively for NZ employment law, serving healthcare, retail, hospitality, logistics, manufacturing, construction, and other roster-intensive industries. - [Homepage](https://rostermate.co.nz/) Key facts for understanding RosterMate: - Built specifically for New Zealand's regulatory environment (NZ Holidays Act, minimum rest periods, maximum working hours, meal/rest breaks, overtime and public holiday rates), unlike overseas platforms that treat NZ as a secondary market. - Combines scheduling, auto-rostering, time & attendance, timesheets, leave management, and native IRD-approved payroll (PAYE intermediary) in one product, removing the need for a separate payroll subscription. - Pricing: NZ$8.00 per employee/month excl. GST (NZ$9.20 incl. GST). RosterMate offers two pricing plans at the same $8/month rate: Standard pricing, which is based on all active employees, and the Casual Workforce plan, designed for businesses with primarily casual staff, which counts only employees actually rostered during each month. - Commercial terms: 30-day free trial with full feature access, no credit card required to start, strictly month-to-month with no lock-in contracts, and easy self-service one-click cancellation. - Onboarding includes dedicated setup calls, admin/manager training, roster template setup by the onboarding team, and hands-on support ("shadowing") during early payruns. Unlimited support. - Integrates with PayHero, Xero Payroll, Crystal Payroll, iPayroll, and Smartly; offers custom Excel exports matching existing manual workflows. ## Platform Modules - [Smart Scheduling](https://rostermate.co.nz/scheduling): Drag-and-drop shift planning, role tagging, cost estimation, and template management. -
