Manage Time Off
Shoot, my time-off request was denied. At least I’m still smiling.
I can moderate all time-off requests from my phone in two taps.
Score! My time-off request was approved. Beach, here I come.
I’ve got some free time and would like to make some extra cash. Let’s see what’s available.
Courtney is sick and I need a replacement STAT.
Score! I can pick up this shift! I need extra cash for the beach trip.
Can someone pick up my shift? My fantasy league kicks off tonight.
Courtney forgets about his fantasy league every year. Good thing Lia can cover.
I can cover your shift, Courtney! You owe me one, though.
Let’s see what tasks I have for my shift today.
My team crushed their tasks today and the closing shift is almost done with theirs!
Only a few more tasks to go before closing up.
I work mornings at my other job so I prefer to work the late shift.
I love that I have instant visibility into everybody’s availability preferences. Makes scheduling easier.
I prefer to work during the day because I have night classes during the week.
