How to add recurring unavailability to the rota for employees

You can now add recurring unavailability periods for your team which will then reflect on the rota screens.

For instance, if you know an employee can't work Tuesdays, this can be blocked out for them for a period of your choosing.

To do this, simply navigate to their Staff Maintenance record and enter the "Unavailability Periods" module.

Once on the module, please click "Add New".

You will then be presented with the "Add Unavailability Period" screen where you can enter the start and end date of the unavailability period - please note you can leave this open ended, so you don't have to add an end date.

Once the date(s) have been added, just click on the days you wish to block off on the rota for them. These will then be highlighted, like as shown below.

Once you are happy with the dates and days selected, click "Save" to lock in the changes.

These days will then be highlighted on the rota as grey. You will still be able to add rota sessions to these days on the off chance that the employee is required last minute.

If you need to remove the unavailability at any point, you will be able to via the Unavailability Periods screen on their Staff Maintenance page where you simply need to click "Delete".
