SortScape also allows you to maintain an employee roster so you know who is available to be added to the schedule on any given day. To show up on the roster, an employee needs to:
Be added to the system as an employee.
Have the"goes on jobs" checkbox ticked on their employee profile.
Mark an employee unavailable
SortScape assumes employees are available to be scheduled every weekday. However, employees sometimes go on holidays, call in sick or work only part time.
Unavailable employee example
Let's say Eric is planning a 3-day weekend and has asked for Monday off. In this case you’ll want to mark him on "annual leave" for Monday so you don't accidentally schedule him for a job run.
To mark Eric as being on annual leave:
Go to the “Roster” tab at the top of the screen. You’ll see a weekly view of the roster.
Find Eric in the list.
Go to the column for Monday and choose the "annual leave" option from the dropdown.
This will automatically make him unavailable on that day so he doesn’t get scheduled for a job run.
To make Eric available again click the “x” in the “annual leave x” lozenge.
