How do I set my availability preference from the app?
Use the Sesame app to let your manager know the days and times when you prefer to work (availability) or not to work (unavailability).
Follow the steps below.
- Go to Shifts >> My calendar and tap the “+” button in the bottom-right corner.
- Choose one of the two available options: Availability or Unavailability.
- Specify when your preference starts and ends (if the preference is for a single day, select the same day in both date fields), then set the start and end times for the entire period.
- If you want your preference to repeat, open the dropdown next to “Repetition” and add a recurrence.
- Add a comment if you want to and tap Save before exiting. If your company has manager approval enabled, your request will remain pending until it is reviewed. Otherwise, it will be registered automatically.
Have you submitted your preference and now need to edit it? No problem. Go to Shifts >> My calendar and tap the preference you submitted. You can edit or delete it. Keep in mind that if the request had already been approved, it may need to be reviewed by your manager again.
Things to keep in mind
- You can register up to 3 unavailability periods within the same time period.
- You can set a preference for a maximum period of 3 years from the start date.
- If you do not specify an end date when selecting a recurring frequency (daily, weekly, or monthly), the system will create it using the maximum allowed duration.
When your manager approves or rejects your request, you will receive a notification.
