Staff holiday requests
Staff can ask for time off from their shifts page. They pick the dates and can add a note. You get an email straight away, and the request appears under Absences & holiday in the rota editor.
Approving or declining
From the rota editor, open the Absences modal from the More menu. Pending requests appear here. Approve or decline each one. Approved absences are written into the rota — the person will not be scheduled on those dates.
How absences affect solving
An approved absence works like unavailability for those specific dates. The solver will not assign the staff member to any shifts on absent days. If they were already assigned, you will need to reassign those shifts manually or re-solve.
