Employees can state time 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 on when they want to work. This type of request is initially set up in Employee Maintenance. Employees then can send in requests from the Mobile App. This simplifies the scheduling process. It also secures accuracy of a planned schedule.
