Request Time Off

Before submitting your Time Off requests to your employer, it's important to understand the difference between submitting Time Off and Availability in 7shifts.

Time Off:  Use this option when you need to take vacation time or request specific days off from work. This is ideal for planned absences like vacations, personal days, or important events.

Availability: Inform your manager of regular scheduling conflicts, such as school, another job, or personal commitments, indicating when you are unable to work during the week. Learn more about Availability here.
