*** start Roster Preference Explanation

This table is designed to capture your (and others) SALT roster allocation preferences. For each worship time slot that the roster covers, you are asked to indicate Yes - you are willing to be rostered in this time slot, or No - you don't wish to be allocated this time slot. Any changes you make to your preferences will not change allocations to you until your fixed term has expired. If you change preferences to remove a time for which you are allocated, it remains your responsibility to arrange a swap.

The second column (labelled Fixed Term) indicates how many weeks you want your roster allocation to be fixed. Note that this is a rolling allocation, meaning that the fixed period extends from the first week of the current table. More information on how this works is available in RosterNewSystems.

The third column (labelled Exclusion Period) indicates how many weeks must pass before you are willing to be rostered again. By specifying a period greater than 1, you avoid being rostered for consecutive weeks.

You are welcome to edit this page yourself, or send your preferences to JohnHurst or the ChurchOffice.

*** start Roster Reintroduction ***

Various rosters have been replaced by an interim manual allocation process while the new automatic system is being revised.

Please note that this roster is manually maintained. Automatic reminders will be issued the week before duties, but no other automatic processing is applied, other than to advance the weeks as they pass.

In particular, the RosterUnavailable page does not apply to this roster. (However, you are welcome to edit that page for future reference, and to help roster coordinators as they add new names.)

To understand more about the future plans for these rosters, please visit RosterNewSystems.

*** start Roster Introduction ***

This roster is automatically maintained. You can read more about the recently revised process in RosterNewSystems, which also describes future plans for these rosters.

Please visit the RosterUnavailable page to record any weeks when you will be unavailable for the roster. Note that adding your name to that page will not remove you from existing allocations! If you are already rostered on a day when you cannot be present, please arrange a swap with someone, or if that proves difficult, inform the roster coordinator.

Automatic reminders will be issued the week before duties, and if the roster is marked as "automatic" in ChurchRosters (q.v.), email alerts will be issued as automatic allocations are made.
