How To Set Up Irregular Times For Staff?
Complete Walkthrough.
If your services do not have a weekly recurring availability, setting up irregular times would be the way to go. Irregular times can also be added in addition to regular Business hours.
Each of your staff can have irregular work schedules and so, irregular Business Hours can be set against each staff.
Follow the steps below to setup Irregular Business Hours.
Once logged in into your Appointy admin panel, click on the ‘gear’ icon in the left tab to go to Settings. Then, click on ‘Business Hours’
On the ‘Irregular’ tab in Business hours, navigate to the date you want to add the time for, and click on ‘+’ symbol on the day slots for the staff member whose irregular work times you are updating.
Add the ‘Start’ and ‘End’ times for the timeslots you want to open and click on the ‘ADD’ button.
Additional Settings to consider:
Different repeat settings for Irregular times and what they mean:
Irregular Business Hours allow a regular staff to work at times other than regular working hours (like 1:00 pm on this Sunday) or assign services to a guest staff. You can also use this feature to setup different availability for each season. For example, a staff which performs all services from 10:00 AM through 6:00 PM in winter can be set to do a 7:00 AM through 3:00 PM shift in the summer.
Irregular work times are not dependent on regular work times. So, adding 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM for any service will open up regardless of times entered in regular work schedule.
Irregular times are also dependent on blocked times for the particular staff unless specified while adding a time as displayed below.
