Non-working days will show as shaded in grey on the Rotas page - adding these means staff can see when they are not due to work and, if they take leave that crosses over these days, they won't be deducted from their leave allowance.

Adding a non-working day

If your staff's non-working days change each week, you can add days off directly on the Rotas page. To do this, click on the cell you'd like to add it to (for the relevant employee and date) - you'll then see a shift pop-up box. Click the three dots in the corner of the shift box and select 'Add day-off'.

This cell will then be shaded in grey and will not be deducted from their leave allowance.

You can add them for past and future dates and this will change your employee's leave allowance.

Adding a non-working day - keyboard shortcut

If your staff's non-working days change each week, you can add days off directly on the Rotas page. If you have lots of non-working days to add at once, you may find it easier to use our keyboard shortcut to do this. Simply hold down your 'D' key on your keyboard and click where you would like to add or remove a non-working day.

You can do this for a specific day and user, a day at the top of the page to add a non-working day for everyone, or a user's name to add a whole week of non-working days.

Once done, the selected cells will be shaded in grey and not be deducted from their leave allowance.

You can add them for past and future dates and this will change your employee's leave allowance.
