Manage Employee Unavailability Requests
Unavailability is time off that is recurring. For example, an employee may have a class or a regular function to attend on the same day and time each week. Instead of having to remember each employee's availability, managers can keep track of unavailability by adding it here. Employees may also request to add, modify, or delete unavailability requests by logging into MyWorkforce. Employees will be prompted to select an unavailability reason. Requests to delete unavailability in MyWorkforce will be automatically approved in the system, therefore removing the scheduling restriction. Unavailability should not be used to record time off.
1.Click to select a New Request from the table. If no requests exist, this table will not appear.
2.The Unavailability grid will populate with the associated employee's records.
a.Yellow indicates existing unavailability
b.Green indicates a new request
c.Orange indicates a modify request
3.Select an Action to approve or deny the request.
Note: Employee requests (from MyWorkforce) to delete existing unavailability will be automatically approved in the system.
