Employee Availability- PowerForce Workshop™

Top of Page

Introduction

Staff availability if prepared in advance allows the rostering system to recognise the employee's planned absence and the roster software will then plan around that absence.

If the employee is rostered on a regular basis the automatic rostering will recognise the employee being on leave and will "drop" the shift that this employee is intended to work, to allow you to allocate the shift to someone else.

If the employee is a casual, the rostering software will alert you to the fact that the employee is already rostered elsewhere (on leave). If the employee is a casual and not entitled to leave of any form, you can still mark them down as unavailable, therein achieving the same in advance planning.
