Roster Sync by ducktake

Free add-on for NSW Health Employee Online

Roster Sync: your roster, in your calendar. Automatically.

Roster Sync is a free browser extension that copies your shifts from Employee Online into your Google Calendar, so they're on your phone and watch.

Add it to your browser for free: Chrome Edge Firefox

Roster Sync uses your Google account only to keep your shifts in one calendar, Work roster. It doesn't use AI or handle images. Privacy policy. No ads. Made by a coworker, not by NSW Health.

Install it now

Not in the Chrome store yet, so add it by hand in Chrome or Edge. About two minutes.

Chrome or Edge

  1. Download roster-sync.zip and extract it into Documents. Keep the folder: the browser runs it from there.
  2. Go to chrome://extensions (Edge: edge://extensions) and turn on Developer mode.
  3. Click Load unpacked and pick the extracted folder.
  4. Open your roster and click Connect Google Calendar (bottom right). Any Google account works.
  5. Google says it hasn't verified the app? That's expected for now: click Advanced, then Go to Roster Sync.

Good to know

  • Update: extract the new zip over the old folder, then click the reload arrow on Roster Sync in the extensions page.
  • Work computer blocks Developer mode? Use your own computer.
  • Nothing to install on your phone. It gets the shifts through its calendar.
  • Firefox version coming soon.

Your Google account

Roster Sync uses it only to keep your shifts in one calendar called Work roster.

Privacy policy
  • Creates the Work roster calendar and only ever changes that calendar.
  • Reads your calendar names only to find it. Never your other events, email or files.
  • Reads only the roster page you have open, never your password.
  • No server, no ads, no tracking. Never sold, shared or used to train AI.
