- Absent Shift: If you need to roster an employee as absent, ensure you select the appropriate leave type, such as "Sick Uncertified Unpaid," "Carer's Leave," or "Sick Certified Paid" and so on. For confidentiality, the shift will automatically be displayed as "Absent" on the roster view and print view.
If a shift appears in orange or red while building your roster, this indicates a potential error or warning. Simply click on the shift to view detailed information about the issue and take any necessary corrective actions.
