One-off schedule changes: time off and extra shifts

Your weekly shift pattern handles the normal week. For everything else, a wedding, a training day, a one-off Saturday clinic, use a one-off change on the Shifts page.

The two kinds

• Time off removes availability: a holiday, an appointment of your own, a half day.
• Extra shift adds availability on a day you would not normally work: that one-off Saturday, or a late evening for a launch event.

Adding one

1. Go to the Shifts page and find Add time off or an extra shift.
2. Choose the staff member and the date.
3. Pick the Kind: Time off or Extra shift.
4. For time off, leave both times blank to take the whole day, or set start and end times for a partial day. Extra shifts always need times.
5. Add an optional note, for example Annual leave, and press Add.

Where you see them

Upcoming changes for the next 30 days are listed on the same page, showing the date, who, the kind, the times (or All day) and your note, each with a Delete button if plans change back. On the calendar, the affected hours are shaded as non-working, and online booking respects the change immediately: no slots during time off, new slots during an extra shift.

Existing bookings are yours to move

Adding time off stops new bookings landing in those hours, but any appointments already sitting there are not cancelled for you. Check the day on the calendar and reschedule anything already booked.
