Why Employee Transport Needs a Roster Cut-Off Time

Why does transport need a roster cut-off time?

Short answer

Time to rebuild routes and certainty for employees.

A roster cut-off is the latest time the company can change the next shift's roster. It gives the vendor time to rebuild routes and send the right vehicles, and gives employees certainty about their pickup. Companies set their own cut-off times; changes come from one coordinator and are confirmed in writing.
