Timetable

Who's working. Who's off.

Put in everyone's working week once and it fills itself in, or draft a rota and publish it when it's ready. Holiday is asked for, approved and counted down, all in one place.

Holiday requests

Asked. Approved. Counted.

People ask for a day, a few days, a morning or a couple of hours. Whoever approves gets a notification with who else is off and what's left, and says yes in a tap. Their allowance counts itself down.

  • ✓No more paper forms or spreadsheets
  • ✓Approved holiday goes straight into the Calendar
  • ✓People show as on holiday while they're away

No surprise gaps

Approvers see who's already off, and get a warning before too many people are away at once.

Set hours or rotas

Same every week, or never the same.

If everyone works Monday to Friday, set it once and you're done. If your rota changes, put it in whenever you like: draft it, copy last week, move things about, and publish when it's right. Only then does everyone see it, and hear about it.

Who hears about it

Pick the people who get a notification every time someone asks for time off.

Kinds of absence

Holiday, sickness, unpaid leave, training or your own, each counting towards the allowance or not.

Shift types

Early, Late, Night, Site: save your usual shifts and fill a rota in a few clicks.
