Labor Management lets authorized employees set, incorporate, and override an employee’s availability for schedules and for manual shift assignments. For example, you can configure the work hour rules and availability settings for a part-time employee who has time commitments for classes.
The employee-specific work hour rules are configured so the employee must work at least 20 hours in a week but is only required to work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday per an agreement to accommodate classes on Tuesday and Thursday.

The employee availability settings are configured to specify unavailability on Tuesday and Thursday to account for classes, preferred times on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and on-call status on weekends.

Depending on the schedule profile, the forecast and automated schedule generator can take the preferred, unavailable, and on-call time segments as feedback for generating shifts and shift assignments. For example, during a week forecasted with a busy weekend, the system can schedule the employee to help with 3 hours on Saturday and on Sunday to account for the extra staffing needs.
