Set weekly limits and availability for a person

Set the most hours and shifts a person can work in a week, a minimum, and the shifts they cannot or prefer to work.

Limits tell the builder how much each person can work. Availability tells it when they cannot, or prefer to.

Steps

Open the Team tab and tap the person.
Under limits, set Max hours per week, Max shifts per week and Min hours per week with the steppers. Changes save right away.
Under Availability (on the phone, Usual availability), see when the person cannot work or prefers to. On the web, tap a cell to mark a shift on a weekday as not available, and tap again to clear it.
On the phone, the grid shows an X for a shift the person cannot work and a star for a preferred shift. The person sets these themselves in the Hours tab.

Max hours go up to 60 and max shifts per week up to 7.
The builder never goes over a person's maximum. A part-timer with 20 hours will not be given 30.
Min hours is a target, not a promise. The builder tries to reach it when it can.
Employees can also set their own availability in the Hours tab, and ask for time off. See Request time off.
When your team sends weekly availability, the builder uses the shifts they offered. See Weekly submissions.
Your country's rest and weekly hour defaults apply to everyone on top of these limits. See Rest and weekly hour defaults.
