Employee working hours in Microsoft Bookings
Setting employee working hours ensures that their availability is accurate when someone try to book them. By default, the working hours for each of your employees match the business hours you've established in the Microsoft Bookings app. See the "Set your business hours" section of Enter business information.
On the Staff page, you can customize employee working hours to match the needs of your business and employees.
If you want to book time off for staff members so customers can't book them while they're out of the office, see Schedule business closures, time off, and vacation time for instructions.

On the working hours screen, select the x next to the day that the employee will have off.
If you want to schedule a day that was previously marked as a day off, select the + sign next to the day you want to schedule.
