Additional Information

Employees can also update their own availability from the Push Employee app under Availability or Time Off Requests, depending on the Company. 

Note that the steps above do not relate to our Leave Management feature; this is for users who track vacation under Employment Details: Vacation Pay within an employee profile. For any Administrators with employees who cannot submit a time off request from a Policy/Balance. Please create an Earning and Deduction entry using the Preset associated with the Policy (i.e. Paid Vacation Taken). 

Please note that only Super Administrators and Team Administrator with permission to View/Update the Scheduler by Positions will be able to update an employee's availability.
