Availability To Work
Employees can enter their Availability to Work through the Employee Planner in the Employee Self Service module of the system.
Employee availability can be simply shifts that an employee is available to work outside their normal working week or in certain organisations casual or part time employees can enter their availability so that a manager or supervisor can view who is available to work if a staff shortage occurs due to absenteeism, unexpected sickness etc.
In order to make themselves ‘Available’ an employee would simply click the day that they are available and then enter the start time and end time of their availability to work.
Staff availability can be especially useful when combined with ‘Automatic Rostering’. This allows the rostering module to automatically schedule staff based on their pre inputted availability.
In the example below employee 0001 Elaine White has made herself available to work on Saturday the 13th of October between the hours of 07:30 – 17:30, this will indicate to a manager or the ‘Automatic Rostering’ module that Elaine is available to work between these hours.
