RotaCloud is a sharp rotas-and-shifts product. The catch is it's a tools-stack: rotas at £10/mo, T&A clock-in at +£4.50/mo, HR doc-store at +£X/mo. Work-Lynx folds all three into one £2.50 + £1/employee bill — plus Employ AI for UK employment law, 49 UK policies preloaded, and disciplinary/grievance workflow on top.

Switching from RotaCloud

RotaCloud exports employees and rota templates as CSV/Excel. Work-Lynx imports both — past rotas can be loaded as templates, so your "fill week from last week" flow keeps working. Most teams move within a working day; if you've got a complex rota structure, we walk you through it on a screen-share — free, no sales call.

HR built for the team you actually have.

Work-Lynx is £2.50 base + £1 per employee per month. 49 UK policies preloaded. Employ AI included. GPS clock-in, rotas, leave, training matrix, payslips. No sales call. Cancel any time.
