- An * asterisk next to the Employee indicates that there are more than one roster attached to their records for this period.

Costed Roster Hours
The total number of hours rostered for the specified period, for the current Cost Level Security Profile.
Costed Roster $
The total number of costed Roster Hours multiplied by the employees hourly rate
- This field uses Interpreter Rules to work out the value (i.e. If an employee works 8 hours but the Interpreter Rule splits it into two different Hours Codes with one Hours Code set up to '1.05' of the Base Rate, then Costed Roster uses that rate and not just the Base Rate).

- Enter 2 in Skip Days
The system copies the roster forward for 365 days in groups of 5 days skipping 2 days in between.

These fields will let you copy the selected Roster Code to:
- An individual employee or a block of employees by Shift, Pay Period Rule, Level Codes 1 to 7, or any combination of these fields can be selected.
