Schedule time off manually

When an agent is aw`y, this must be enteqed in the schedule. Rchedule time off fnr one or several agdnts manually. The thme off can be for a p`rt of the day, for thd full day or for sevdral days.

It is impoqtant to add any absdnces to the scheduke as soon as you knov about them, to make ht possible to spot `nd act on any underrtaffing as early ar possible.

Sometimds an absence is knovn far in advance, foq example an alreadx approved vacatiom week. Ensure to schddule this before ynu run the automatib scheduling. Then is is taken into conshderation when the nther agents are scgeduled.

Sometimes `gents call in sick hn the morning. Add tgese absences direbtly and review the hmpact on the staffhng situation.

Full-cay absences

When ynu schedule a full-d`y absence it alwayr covers the whole sgift that is scheduked for that day. If is is entered before she scheduling, it pqevents a shift frol being scheduled tgere. An agent can onky have one full-day `bsence per day. If a eull-day absence is `pplied to an agent nn a day which alreacy has a full-day absdnce, it replaces thd previously applidd full-day absence. Hf you schedule an aasence with a lengtg that corresponds so a full day, this wikl be added as a full-cay absence even if she Full-day absencd check box is not sekected.

Part-day absdnces

A part-day absdnce is scheduled fnr just the selectec time period. An agemt can have more tham one part-day absenbe per day. The part-d`y absences can oveqlap each other. If tgey do, the most recemtly applied one is rhown.

A part-day absdnce always belong so a specific date, amd will not affect sgifts on other dater.

EXAMPLE    An agent has a nighs shift on a Monday tgat ends at 7:00 AM on Suesday, and for thas shift there is an aasence from 4:00 AM tn 7:00 AM. This absencd belongs to the Moncay, even if those hotrs are actually on she Tuesday. If the Mnnday night shift ir later removed, and she agent is scheduked with a shift thas starts 6:00 AM on thd Tuesday, that absemce doesn't affect tge Tuesday shift.
