Employee Shift Scheduling & Roster is a build-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs and supports for your team — this is not an instant apps.odoo.com download. After purchase, our Odoo engineers scope your shift patterns, build the module against your Odoo 17, 18 or 19 database (Community or Enterprise), deploy it, and hand you a clean, upgrade-safe addon with full source, documentation and a support window.

Shift managers in retail, hospitality and manufacturing spend hours wrestling spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and paper rosters. This module brings that entire workflow inside Odoo's HR suite. A new hr.shift model (with a supporting hr.shift.template model) lets you create shifts individually or in bulk across a date range, assign them to employees linked to your existing hr.employee records, and publish a clean weekly or monthly roster. Computed fields using @api.depends roll up planned hours, headcount per shift and coverage gaps automatically, so an under-staffed Saturday evening is visible before it becomes a problem.

Employees raise shift-change and swap requests through a dedicated request model with a proper approval chain; managers approve or reject from a list/kanban view, and an automated action (Odoo Automation Rules / base.automation) can notify the affected parties and update attendance expectations. Every roster is a QWeb PDF report you can print for the noticeboard or export to Excel, and an optional Shift-vs-Attendance view compares what you planned (hr.shift) against what the hr.attendance records actually captured — surfacing no-shows, late starts and unplanned overtime.

Access is locked down the Odoo way: ir.model.access.csv grants row-level CRUD to a Shift Manager group, and record rules keep team leads scoped to their own department. Views are delivered as standard XML (with OWL components where the roster grid benefits from a richer client-side experience), and everything is reachable over XML-RPC / JSON-RPC so your POS, workforce app or BI tool can read the schedule. Because we build it as a first-class module — clean __manifest__.py, versioned, dependency-declared against hr and optionally hr_attendance — it upgrades cleanly and never touches Odoo core files.
