Holiday and availability

Holiday requests without the back-and-forth

Your team asks for time off from their phone and tells you when they can’t work. You approve in a tap. Approved leave keeps them off the rota, and any shifts they had become open shifts.

Asking for time off in RotaFox on a phone, with the holiday allowance left.

Requests in one place

No more holiday requests scattered across texts and notes behind the bar. Each request shows the dates, the hours it uses and what’s left of the person’s allowance.

  • Requests from any phone
  • Allowances in hours, per holiday year
  • Your holiday year can start in any month
  • Sickness and other absence recorded by managers
Approving a holiday request in RotaFox on a phone.

Fair and checked

Nobody can approve their own holiday; another manager has to. RotaFox stops requests that go over the allowance, or that run across the start of a new holiday year without being split.

Availability that the rota respects

Staff can say which days or times they can’t work, or would like extra hours. Managers see it beside each name while they plan.

Setting availability in RotaFox on a phone: days and times someone can’t work.

Questions about holiday and availability

Can employees request leave?

Yes. Team members request holiday from their phone. A manager approves or declines it, and approved leave keeps them off the rota for those dates.

What happens to shifts when leave is approved?

Any shifts that person had during their leave become open shifts, so you can see straight away what needs covering.

Your next rota could be the easiest one yet.

Less admin. Better control over wages. A happier team. That’s the RotaFox way.
