Employees can specify the times that they can and cannot work (based on their availability on a day-to-day basis or over a period of time). They can also express their preferences for when they want to work. This type of request is initially set up in Employee Maintenance. Employees can send in requests from the Mobile App, which simplifies the scheduling process and secures the accuracy of a planned schedule.
