Overview

Set your availability preferences to let your employer know when you prefer to work and when you prefer not to work. By default, you’re set to be available all day.

You can also set your availability preferences from your iPhone or Android phone.

Considerations

• Your availability is a preference that your employer can take into account when building the schedule. There is no guarantee you’ll always get shifts that align with your preferences.
• You can add, edit, or delete availability preferences that take place in the future but not preferences that take place in the past or on the current day.
• Your employer has the option to disable the availability feature. If the feature is disabled, management can enter preferences on your behalf.
• Your employer has the option to enforce how many days notice an employee needs to give to change their unavailability.
• Your availability preferences have icons that help you quickly identify them:
  • Preferred indicates you prefer to work.
  • Unavailable indicates you’re unavailable to work.
  • Repeating preference indicates that the preference repeats.
