The Fingercheck Team Schedule and Time Off Visibility feature enables employees to view their team members schedules and approved and pending time off requests. Employees should be aware of who they are working with, who can trade shifts, and when others have requested time off to prevent repetitive requests and rejections.
The administrator has the ability to modify viewing permissions, giving them control over the shared information.
Benefits of team schedule and time off visibility
Improved team coordination: Employees can see more clearly who they are scheduled to work with, which makes it easier to coordinate their duties and tasks.
Enhanced shift management: Employees can quickly identify potential shift swaps or coverage opportunities based on who is available.
Efficient time-off planning: When employees can see when other team members have requested or have approved time off, they do not ask for time off when others are already planning to be away, which lowers the chance of request conflicts and denials.
Admin control: Employees can view but not modify the schedules due to the restricted read-only access to this view.
How to set up a team schedule
Click on the Settings icon (gear icon) near the top right of the schedule.
Select the Calendar tab in Settings.
Scroll down to Team Schedule.
Team Schedule:
Admins can configure the visibility of team schedules and time-off requests for employees.
The available settings include:
Allow employees to view other shifts: This gives full shift visibility.
Without restrictions, all employees can see all team members' shifts.
Allow employees to view others’ absences: This gives full time off visibility.
Without restriction, all employees can see all team members' time-off requests (both pending and approved).
Visibility is restricted based on the job, task, or cost center:
When you restrict visibility by job, task, or cost center, employees can only see shifts and time-off requests that match the job, task, or cost center assigned in their profiles.
Employees who do not have a job, task, or cost center assigned in their profiles will see all shifts and time-off requests.
Shifts or time-off requests without a job, task, or cost center assigned will only be visible to employees who do not have any job, task, or cost center assigned in their profiles.
My Schedule vs. My Team’s Schedule
Employees have the ability to toggle between "My Schedule" and "My Team’s Schedule" on the web platform. This makes it simple to view their personal schedule or see the schedules of team members.
The Team Schedule and Time Off Visibility feature is a valuable tool for improving transparency and coordination among team members. Providing a clear view of team schedules and time-off requests, it fosters better planning, reduces scheduling conflicts, and enhances overall workplace efficiency.
