Say when you can work

Set the days of the week you can work, prefer to work or cannot work on your iPhone, so whoever builds the rota sees it.

Who can do this: Everyone, for themselves. Whoever builds the rota sees the team’s availability.

iPhoneChecked

Availability is your usual week: the days you can, would rather, or cannot work. It repeats every week until you change it. For particular dates, ask for time off instead: Ask for time off. Availability is set on the phone.

  1. Open Me and press My availability.
  2. Under Your week there is a row for each day. Choose one for each: Not set, Can, Prefer or Can’t.
  3. Your row on the rota below shows the week as your manager will see it.
  4. Press Save changes. It says Availability saved, and the button reads No changes until you change something again.

What your manager sees

On the rota, the days you prefer are tinted green in your row and the days you cannot work are tinted red. On the phone, a person who cannot work the day is marked when a shift is being added.

If it doesn’t work

The button says No changes and will not press
Nothing is different from what is already saved.
“Couldn’t save availability”
It was not saved. Check your connection and press Save changes again.
You were given a shift on a day you marked Can’t
That is allowed. Speak to your manager, or ask a colleague to take it: Swap a shift with a colleague.
