Duplicated shifts override approved time off?!

FSquirrel — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 06:46:01 GMT

Am I missing something? When I duplicate a week of scheduled shifts to a future week, approved time off is covered up! I need to be able to copy "regular" week's schedule then edit it based on many different factors the top one being when someone can't work! Is there a way to have approved time off create an alert or override the copied shifts or appear in addition to the copied shifts in a separate schedule block? I am mystified that this didn't come up in any help search and that Square wouldn't have thought of it to begin with!

@FSquirrel Unfortunately, you are NOT missing something.

I reported this issue through the Teams Management beta program a few months ago. Unless you are in the beta program, you can’t see my post. So, good for you for starting this one! Copying schedules from week to week (which I do a lot) will not alert you to this problem. At this point, all I can suggest is that you do what I do, which I admit is a big pain! I look at the new week’s schedule and make manual notes of the time off requests. Then I copy the schedule and immediately delete any copied shifts that conflict. That makes the time off request show up and will then not allow you to create a shift for that block.

Like I said. It’s a pain and totally unnecessary. But I wanted you to know you were not alone in this.

The only other suggestion I have is for you to go here to submit a feature request. I think I did this already, but I can’t remember. Sometimes I let my posts in the beta board be considered as my feature request. Here’s the link to submit that — https://www.sellercommunity.com/t5/Feature-Requests/ct-p/Beta-Feature-Requests
