Keep your rostering system. Add the recruitment and compliance it doesn't cover.

Workforce Ignite doesn't do rostering, payroll or NDIS invoicing — and doesn't ask you to switch. It sits next to the system you already use and handles hiring, references and compliance documents.

"Why would I switch?" — you don't

You probably already pay for a rostering and payroll system, such as ShiftCare, Employment Hero or Deputy. It runs your rosters, and often timesheets, pay and client billing too. Moving off it would be expensive and disruptive, and Workforce Ignite isn't built to replace it.

Workforce Ignite covers the work that happens before someone is on the roster, and the paperwork that keeps them there:

Keep in your rostering and payroll system: rosters and shifts, timesheets, pay, client billing and NDIS invoicing.

Use Workforce Ignite for:

• a careers form on your own website,
• your own talent pool of every applicant,
• your recruitment pipeline and interviews,
• reference checks with no per-check fee,
• compliance items, expiry dates and reminders,
• documents to read, sign or return (contracts, the Fair Work Information Statement, the Casual Employment Information Statement),
• the Talent Map: who lives near a new client.

If your current system already does some of this well, keep using it for that, and use Workforce Ignite for the rest.

Getting your staff in

Export your staff list from your current system (for example ShiftCare, Employment Hero or Deputy) or use a spreadsheet, and import the file as it is:

• You match its columns to Workforce Ignite's — no reformatting.
• Every row is checked before anything is saved.
• People whose email is already in Workforce Ignite are skipped, so importing the same file twice won't create duplicates.
• Inactive people go straight to Offboarded, so your records and reports start complete.

Day to day

1. Hire in Workforce Ignite. Applicants arrive through your careers form, you check references and collect their documents, then click Add to Staff.
2. Add them to your roster as usual. Enter the new starter in your rostering system the way you do now.
3. Keep compliance in Workforce Ignite. Expiry dates, reminders, who sighted what, and the compliance register for audits.

Staff lists can be exported to Excel at any time.

What there isn't — yet

There's no live connection between Workforce Ignite and other systems today. Staff move in by file import, and new starters are added to your rostering system by hand. If a direct connection with the system you use would make a difference, tell us when you book a demo.

What it costs

$99 a month plus $5 per active staff member, on top of what you pay for rostering. Candidates in your talent pool are free, and there are no per-check fees. See Pricing — and compare it with what you spend on job ads and reference checks today.

Questions

Does Workforce Ignite do rostering? No. Keep your rostering system for that.

Does it do payroll, timesheets or NDIS invoicing? No.

Will we have to enter staff twice? Your existing staff come in by import. New hires are added to your rostering system the way you add them now; their recruitment, references and compliance stay in Workforce Ignite.

Can I try it without changing anything else? Yes. Nothing in your rostering system changes. Book a demo to see how it would fit alongside the system you use, then try it with a 14-day pilot.
