It does this because not all users of the system will be staff and are thus not applicable to being given shifts. The staff records contains information about your role within the company such as skills etc, where as your profile record contains information about your user profile, theme and other user settings.
At this point, an administrator will have to assign you to locations, sections and categories, so the rostering system will know how to allocated shifts for you. Once this step is complete, you are now ready to be given shifts. Congratulations!
