Feature REQUEST: SHIFTS

RS6 — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 06:51:00 GMT

It would be nice if the Shifts feature offered the following:

Employees can put time unavailable vs. available time
Employees can ask off blocks of time or partial days (i.e. May 24 off from 9a.m to 12 p.m., but could work the rest of the day)
If it would track projected labor cost based on schedule (Right now it only tracks labor cost as it is accrued. I'd like it to show my projected cost when I make the schedule so I can adjust as needed based on cost before publishing the schedule
It would be nice if I could copy one week's entire schedule to another week. (not just repeat days on specific employees).

Please SQUARE make these features available!!!! Thank you!

Following:

I thought there was a discussion around team scheduling and features but didn't find it after a quick search. So, chiming in here.

Unavailable can be helpful also can be overly complicated and take longer for staff to get right.
I do like the blocks of time-off over a full day.
Visibly showing when someone is scheduled (before publishing) during a time they are unavailable is very helpful for the scheduler
visibly showing overlaps is also helpful
totally agree on copying an entire week to the next week

discloser, I turned scheduling over to my manager a while back. Some of this may exist now and I don't know it. Either way, following the conversation.

@RS6 you might take a moment and look through this board. Like and add comments to suggestions you see to help the development team understand demand and add your thoughts that aren't already on the board.

I've also submitted a request for the partial time or days off. I think they're looking into it as I type!

I think your last feature request already exists? I can copy an entire schedule and it's the same for all of my employees. Or are you wanting the shifts to copy and then the employee be left blank so you can fill it in?
