How do access levels and unavailability management work in Bizimply?
Bizimply offers a range of features to streamline workforce scheduling and management. This article explains the differences in access levels between employees and managers, as well as how to manage employee unavailability effectively.
Overview of Access Levels in Bizimply
In Bizimply, access levels are tailored to the roles of employees and managers:
Employee Portal: Employees can log in to view their rota (schedule) and stay informed about their shifts. This access is limited to viewing their own schedules and does not include administrative capabilities.
Manager Access: Managers have broader permissions, including the ability to manage all sites, create and edit schedules, and perform other administrative tasks. This ensures that managers can oversee operations effectively while employees focus on their individual schedules.
Managing Employee Unavailability
If you need to block certain days for an employee but do not have access to the Unavailability feature, you can use the following workaround:
Open a future week with an empty schedule.
For each employee, add an "Unavailable" shift on the recurring days you want to block (e.g., every Monday and Wednesday).
Save this week as a template by copying the schedule.
When creating a new schedule, start by copying this template. The unavailable days will already be marked, allowing you to build the rest of the schedule around them.
This method ensures that recurring unavailability is accounted for, even if the Unavailability feature is not accessible.
Practical Workarounds for Scheduling Challenges
Bizimply provides flexibility in managing schedules, but occasional limitations may require creative solutions. The template method described above is a practical way to handle recurring unavailability without relying on specific features. By planning ahead and using templates, you can maintain an organized and efficient scheduling process.
