What is Unavailability on Bizimply

Employees can log when they are unavailable to work with their employer using Bizimply which helps managers know who to schedule in and when. Employees can log unavailability records that are either:

  • Once off such as a medical appointment

  • or as recurring such as college classes every Monday

Employees can log their unavailability for part or all of the day. There are two ways for employees to log their unavailability with their employers using Bizimply - via the MyZimply Employee app or via their Employee Portal.

How to log your own unavailability via MyZimply app
