The employee availability diary can be accessed from anywhere within the software and is automatically displayed when making a phone call.
The diary shows an employee's availability for any given date. Availability can be easily updated by checking a box. The software uses red and green as booked and available, which are easily recognisable iconic colours. Entire days can be marked as available with a single selection.
If the window is opened whilst a particular requirement or booking is selected then text for an email or text message will be automatically generated.
As this window is very often used during or prior to a telephone conversation it is useful to have the following information to hand before making a phone call:
-
Availability for yesterday, today and tomorrow to avoid calls during sleep periods or sensitive situations
-
Employee Notes available for updating,
-
Any outstanding or soon to be required certification or renewal information
-
Any outstanding shifts that the Nurse may be interested in
-
Alternate contact numbers
-
Current accrued leave (hours and value)
