If you work shifts, you may have the opportunity to choose or advise your work schedule.
For example, you may need to advise you cannot work weekday mornings because you work a second job, or you have no plans on a certain day so want your employer to know you are available to work or be on call if needed etc.
Shift Scheduling in Sage HR supports this with a feature that allows you to advise whether you can or can't work on a certain date or time of day.
πNOTE: To advise availability, this feature must be enabled by an administrator in Shift Scheduling general settings.
