The Schedule module in Fingercheck allows administrators to view employee availability while assigning schedules. It includes features for managing time off requests, like PTO or sick days, and shift covers and trades.


Employee time off requests

You can view both requested and approved employee time off on the schedule. If you forgot to approve a request, you can do so directly from the schedule:

  1. Click the pencil icon to edit.

  2. From the Status drop-down menu, select Approved or Declined.

  3. Click Save.

  4. You will see the new status on the schedule.


Allow employees to trade, cover, and take open shifts

Admins can allow employees to trade, cover, and take open shifts, giving them more control over their schedules.

  1. Click on the Settings menu (gear icon) near the top right of the schedule.

  2. In Calendar, choose the appropriate selections for:

    • Allow employees to trade shifts

    • Allow employees to ask for cover

    • Allow employees to take open shifts

  3. Click Save.


Managing requests

You can approve or deny employee requests to take another employee’s shift or an open shift:

  1. Click the Schedule tab.

  2. Click Requests.

  3. Click Approve or Deny to respond to the employee’s request.
