What is availability

The availability system allows users to select times that they are unable to work informing their manager of times they can work.  

Why is this important

This feature enables users to submit and adjust availability so they are not rostered for a shift they cannot fulfil. Managers can update a users availability should the user be unable to do so. 

Updating a users availability

1. Open the users profile

2. Click availability
