Availability or Time Off can be added by the worker on their Worker Calendar or added by an admin on the Worker Profile.
Using the Availability System
For each worker, their calendar can be accessed directly from their home screen. To specify times and dates of availability using the calendar, follow these steps:
Choose a Date: Select the desired date on the calendar.
Add Availability: Click on Add Availability to choose the available times for the selected date.
Set Recurrence: If you want the availability to repeat on the same day of the week in the future, select the Repeating option.
This will ensure that your availability is consistently updated and reflected in future schedules.
About Overnight or 24-hour shifts
To specify overnight or 24-hour availability, select the overnight option for each relevant day. This will extend the ending time by 24 hours, converting the availability into an overnight slot.
For example, if you set availability from Tuesday 9 AM to 6 PM and check overnight, it will adjust to Tuesday 9 AM to Wednesday 6 PM.
For more details on how workers and admins can add time off and the available options, refer to the Time Off Requests section.
Availability Can Limit:
Shift Visibility: Determines which shifts your workers can see.
Shift Signup and Requests: Affects which shifts your workers can sign up for or request.
Sign-Up Bot Messages: Influences when workers receive notifications from the Sign-Up Bot.
You can also adjust your settings for Availability & Time Off to manage these aspects effectively.
Please see Availability & Time Off Settings for more information!
Using Availability is an advanced setting on your account. Please contact a Client Success Specialist if you are considering using this option.
