What is an availability shift in haddock HR? ππ§©
In haddock HR, availability shifts are the way to tell our algorithm which hours of the day an employee is available to work. π£π
That way, when the system generates automatic shifts, it will know how to respect the time windows each person can offer. More accuracy and more respect for everyone's time! ππ¬
How do you create an availability shift? π οΈ
πΉ 1. Create a shift as usual βοΈ
Go to the shift creation menu in haddock HR.
πΉ 2. Select the "Availability" time type πΆοΈ
It is very important that in the time type field you choose "Availability" instead of a normal work shift. That way the system will understand it correctly. πβ
πΉ 3. Define the start and end times β°
Mark the time window in which the employee will be available.
For example:
- From 9:00 to 13:00 if they are only available in the morning.
- From 16:00 to 22:00 if they can only work in the afternoon.
πΉ 24-hour availability? π±
You can do that too!
If you want an employee to be available all day, simply enter the same time for the start and end. For example:
From 10:00 to 10:00 = available for 24 continuous hours. ππ

β You avoid conflicts or impossible assignments.

With availability shifts in haddock HR, you set the rules and the system follows them! β‘π§‘ Organizing teams has never been so easy!
