Time away for your team

Mark the days a team member is on holiday, off sick or at training, so they can't be booked while they're gone.

When someone on your team is away, mark it once and their days come off the booking page automatically. No more blocking time out week by week.

Adding time away

Open Team, choose the person, and on their Availability tab press Add a change under Time away and different hours. Pick the first and last day, choose Away, then a reason (Holiday, Sick, Training or Other) and an optional note. Whole days only - for a partial day, like a half-day course, use Block time on the calendar instead. From the calendar, Block time's Whole day switch saves the same thing for one person.

The same list holds their different hours on a date, so everything that differs from their usual week is in one place; see Rosters, rotating weeks and the dates that differ.

While they're away, customers can't book them online, and your calendar greys their column with the reason. Everyone else's days are untouched - time away belongs to one person, unlike a closed date which shuts the whole business.

Bookings already in those days

If the person already has bookings inside the dates, we show you each one straight away: move it to a new time, cancel it, or skip it for now. Cancelling this way never charges the customer, and you choose what happens to any deposit. A booking you skip stays on the calendar until you deal with it.

Booking them anyway

Booking from your own calendar still works while someone is away - you'll see a note, but you always have the final say.
