How do I show I am unavailable for a shift?
Helpful Hint
Here we take a closer look at the Unavailability page and discuss what each option on the screen allows you to do.
The below table covers the options you have when inputting information about your period of unavailability as well as a description of what each of those options involve:
Option
|
Description |
On an ongoing basis |
If your unavailability is ongoing, then toggle on the On an ongoing basis option. You will then need to select the day of the week as well as the start and end date of your period of unavailability.
If there are multiple days of the week you are unavailable on a recurring basis, you will need to create a separate unavailability entry.
|
Not on an ongoing basis |
If your unavailability is a one-off, leave the On an ongoing basis option toggle on, and just enter the date the unavailability relates to.
|
All day |
If your period of unavailability is all day, leave the All day option toggled on.
|
Not all day |
If your period of unavailability is not all day, turn off the All day toggle. You will then be given the option to enter a start and finish time.
|
Reason |
This is not a compulsory field. However, it is recommendable that you type in a reason for your unavailability in this Reason text box so your manager becomes as informed as possible.

Happy with your changes?
Once you've entered all the information on your period of unavailability, tap Save.
