Requesting Partial Days off

bpc20 — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 06:41:47 GMT

I see this requested already a bunch on the forums, but employees need to be able to request certain hours off during the day. Have a doctor's appointment at 8am, but can work at 10am? Great, we need to know that. Right now they can only say they are not available that whole day. That's crazy. Please fix this.

Hey @bpc20,

Thanks for being a member of the Community.

At this time, the ability to request partial days off is not available through Square Shifts. We’re always working to improve Square Shifts features based on the feedback we receive from our customers, so please share your suggestions in our Ideate Room.

As always, feel free to reach out if we can assist you with anything else.

Also asking for this. Managing time off without this feature is a pain and I'm considering dropping Square Team. As with most feature requests to Square, I expect this to get ignored for years though.
