Step-by-Step Guide

Go to Manager > Staff Rosters.

Select the given day of the staff member who needs time off from their day.

On the pane that opens, choose Shift and leave the FROM and TO working day times as normal. The only change here is to select the Add time off checkbox.

First, indicate the reason FOR the time off to the staff members working day. From the dropdown menu you can select Holiday, Sick, Training, or Custom. 

If you select Custom, another field appears next to it to enter the reason.

Considering their working day is from 9:00 a.m. to 8 p.m., we need to state a new FROM and TO time:

  • If they need to leave early, select Start of shift in the FROM dropdown and choose the time when their shift will finish in the TO dropdown.
  • If they need to start late, select End of shift in the FROM dropdown and choose the time when their shift will start in the TO dropdown.

Once you're happy with the amended working day to allow for time off click Save.

On the Roster screen, hover your mouse over the teal-blue area to view more details.
