Staff tools
Staff scheduling, timesheets and leave tracking for a Canadian restaurant
Mosey keeps your staff records, publishes the rota, records hours and tips and exports the figures your payroll provider needs. In Canada the staff tools are basic by design: your payroll provider still works out pay, entitlements and the Record of Employment.
Free to list: your menu, replies and photos.
Who remembers who swapped shifts last week?
The schedule sits in a spreadsheet, the swaps are in a group chat and the real hours are on a clipboard by the dish pit. Nobody has the same version, and on payday someone reconstructs the week from memory.
Mosey keeps the people, the rota and the hours in one login, on the same system that already knows what you sold.
What do the basic staff tools cover?
Canada opens at the basic level and never at full. These jobs are in it:
- Staff records: each person with their role and the documents you keep.
- The rota: build the week and publish it. Staff see their shifts on their phones and are told when a published rota changes.
- Clock in and out, with breaks recorded as they are taken.
- Timesheets and a payroll export: approve the hours for the pay period and hand them to your payroll provider.
- Tip pools: record how card and cash tips are split for each pay period.
- Job ads with pay ranges: post a vacancy and answer applicants.
- Leave tracking: time taken and balances against the leave rate you set.
What stays with you and your payroll provider?
The Record of Employment, statutory holiday pay, contract templates and the automatic maths for statutory sick leave stay off. The screen says so in one line: Mosey keeps your records, and your payroll provider works out pay and entitlements. You set your own sick leave rate for each role and confirm it, and Mosey counts time taken against it.
Mosey runs no payroll, moves no wages and does not check anyone's right to work.
Which warnings will you see?
A warning appears only when it comes from your own province's row and that row has been read on an official page. Today that means British Columbia and Ontario for overtime, rest, meal breaks, minimum wage and sick leave, and Nova Scotia and Manitoba for overtime. Every other province shows no warning at all, which is better than a wrong one.
A warning is advice. It never blocks a shift or changes pay, and it shows the source and the date it was checked.
How do tips fit in?
Card tips from the till feed the pool for the period, and cash tips are entered by hand with a note. Staff see their own share and the policy, not anyone else's. No money moves through Mosey; you pay tips through your own payroll.
Where the rules differ
Employment rules are provincial. Mosey shows only the ones it has read on an official page.
- British Columbia and Ontario
- Overtime, rest and meal break, minimum wage and sick leave warnings are read from the province's own row.
- Nova Scotia and Manitoba
- Overtime warnings only.
- Every other province and territory
- No warning is shown. Time taken is still counted and the leave rate is yours.
- Leave and holiday pay
- The Record of Employment and statutory holiday pay stay with your payroll provider. Leave uses the rate you set and confirm.
Rules change. Check any rule that matters to you with your accountant or adviser.

Questions owners ask
Does Mosey run my payroll?
No. It prepares and exports hours, leave and tips for your payroll provider. You pay people through your own payroll.
Does Mosey issue a Record of Employment?
No. That stays with your payroll provider.
Can staff see the rota on their phones?
Yes, and they are told when a published rota changes. They never see each other's documents.
Can I draft a contract in Mosey?
Not at the basic level. Contract templates stay off in Canada.
Who can see staff records?
People with the rota, leave, timesheets and staff records permission, which owners and managers have by default.
Why does my province show no warnings?
Because its row has not been read on an official page. Mosey shows none rather than a wrong figure.
Can the tip pool include cash?
Yes. Cash tips are entered by hand with a note. Delivery tips are left out.
