Some salon businesses offer a fortnightly roster for their staff members and while this is not currently available within Timely, we have a workaround to allow you to do this. In this guide, you will learn a walk around for how to manage your fortnightly rostering.

 

 

How to manage fortnightly rostering (workaround)

The first thing that you need to do is change their normal Working Hours in Timely from 9am - 8pm. To do this, from setup > click staff, then edit next to the staff members name. From here, you can scroll down and change their normal working hours; and once you click save - these will be set.
 

Then head back to your calendar to the day that you have changed. On the week that your staff member works from 9am - 5pm, you will need to create a busy time period from 5pm to 8pm. This will stop clients from being able to book your staff member between 5pm and 8pm on the weeks that they are working from 9am - 5pm. 

 

Step-by-step instructions

1 Click on the calendar at 5pm, and add the duration of busy time + give it a name.

 

2 You then make this recurring every 2 weeks with the end set as never.

 

3 Repeat these steps for the opposite week, where your staff member works from 12pm - 8pm, you create create another busy time period from 9am to 12pm, and then recur this busy period every 2 weeks with the end set as never. Again, this will stop the customers from being able to book your staff member between 9am and 12pm on the weeks that they are working from 12pm - 8pm.

 

Timely tip: if your staff member is working the same hours in a week, you can speed up this process by selecting the days that your staff member is working, and create more than one busy time period by clicking on the days in the red section.
