Our staff are zero hour casuals who only work when they can, sometimes just a couple of evenings a week, or some are parents who can only work between 9-5, so the system for unavailability makes no sense and is long winded. They have to input both unavailability from 12am - 9am and then again for 6pm - 12am, for every day that applies.
Why should we implement this
Its a deal breaker for my management team who feel the staff will be confused and if they forget to give availability then the system would automatically assume full availability which isn't the case and managers will end up having to chase confirmations. We don't have the luxury of just choosing someone else as we don't have enough staff. |
Having this feature would greatly help management see when an employee is available to provide emergency coverage. Our staff works a rotating 12 week schedule with 2 weeks of 8 hour days. When the last 2 weeks of the schedule arrive, folks will let it be known they are available for shifts. Having this feature will make the "call out" much easier to see/implement. ZMC/BPA
