  2. If you’re required to provide work authorization, you’ll also see Work permit here. Tap Manage work permit to update your expiry date or document — see Updating your work authorization.
Note: The Work permit section only appears if your employment requires it — most Canadian citizens and permanent residents won't see it.

Other sections

  • Payroll & Tax shows your pay cycle (read-only — your employer sets this, including Weekly) and your TD1 tax information. RoostPay doesn’t collect banking details; your employer pays your net wages outside the app.
  • Notifications lets you control how RoostPay reaches you — see Managing notifications and account security for details.
  • Schedule lets you turn on external calendar sync (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, etc.) so your shifts and events show up in your own calendar app.
  • Work Log shows your past shifts and time-off entries for a month or pay period, with filters for shifts, vacation, and sick days.
Work Log showing hours in range and a list of vacation and approved shifts
Work Log under Settings.
  • Security covers your password, passkeys, and devices — see Managing notifications and account security for details.
  • Legal contains RoostPay’s privacy policy and terms of service (both open on roostpay.ca), plus a request for a copy of your personal data.
  • About shows the version and build on this device, and What’s new when release notes have been published.
