Blocked Days

Updated

In 7shifts, manage time off requests by blocking specific days to prevent employees from submitting requests for those dates. Blocked Days, allows you to control when time off is not permitted, ensuring you have the staff coverage you need.

⚠️ Managers/Assistant Managers require permission: Can edit and delete approved time off requests.

⚠️ All previously submitted Time Off requests will not be affected. You will still need to either approve or decline those requests.

⚠️ If you are using the Sick Paid Time Off (SPTO) feature, Blocked days will not be applied to Sick Paid Time Off requests.

To add a Blocked Day:

  1. Go to Schedule > Time Off:
