Availability

Employee autonomy

Staff set their own availability directly from the Shiftly mobile app. So whether they're studying, travelling, or picking up extra hours, you don't have to deal with paperwork, or phone calls.

Synced to your roster

Availability updates appear on your scheduling dashboard in real time. Toggle the availability view on or off, and see exactly who's free at a glance.

Built-in conflict warnings

Shiftly flags availability conflicts the moment you schedule a shift. You'll always know before publishing if someone isn't available, so there are no surprises.

Autonomy through the mobile app

Let your team manage their own availability

Employees can update their availability directly from the Shiftly mobile app. For each day of the week, they can mark themselves as available or unavailable, set specific time windows, or flag themselves as free all day.

Whether they're balancing uni, family commitments, or picking up extra hours elsewhere — their preferences are always up to date and ready for you to see.

Roster view

See availability right on your roster

When building your roster, toggle on the availability view and each employee's status appears directly in the scheduling grid. At a glance, you can see who's available all day, who has limited hours, and who's unavailable, without leaving your view.

Warnings that keep your roster on track

Drag a shift onto someone who's unavailable? Shiftly will let you know immediately. You'll see a clear warning showing when they are available, so you can make an informed decision - reassign the shift or proceed with the override.

If an employee already has a shift at that time, the slot is blocked entirely, preventing accidental double-bookings before they happen.
