How to view employee availability in Shifts?

Question

Hello,

We're looking at transitioning from When to Work to Microsoft Shifts for employee scheduling. One feature in When to Work that is helpful is that our staff can set their preferred availability as to when they can/cannot work. Is there an option in Shifts that allows employees to set their availability?

Hi @Leroy Conway III (lconway)

In Shift, employees can request time off, shift changes, etc. by submitting applications.

1.Choose Requests at the top left of the Teams screen.

2.Choose New request.

3.In the pop up, choose the Time off tab.

4.Fill out your time off request.

5.Click Send request and you manager will receive a notification.
