If you work shifts, you may have the opportunity to choose or advise your work schedule.
For example, you may need to advise you cannot work weekday mornings because you work a second job, or you have no plans on a certain day so want your employer to know you are available to work or be on call if needed etc.
Shift Scheduling in Sage HR supports this with a feature that allows you to advise whether you can or can't work on a certain date or time of day.
📎NOTE: To advise availability, this feature must be enabled by an administrator in Shift Scheduling general settings.

On the main menu, click Schedule.
Under the relevant date alongside your name, hover your mouse over a slot, then click the Add new button.
Specify the hours, then clarify whether you're advising that you're:
Able to work
Available on call
Unavailable to work
If required, leave a comment.
Click Add availibilty.
If you need to edit it at any time, just click on the availability that shows on the schedule, make your changes, and then click Save.
If you need to delete the availability, click it, then click Delete.
📎NOTE: Just because availability has been added does not prevent a schedule administrator from adding a shift on that date or time specified.
