Feature
See employee availability while scheduling
Building a schedule without knowing who's actually free means constant back-and-forth after the fact. ScheduleSpark keeps each worker's availability visible right where you're assigning shifts.
Part-time availability
Workers who can only work certain days or hours have that recorded on their profile, so you're never guessing whether someone can cover a given shift.
Recurring availability
Availability carries forward from one week to the next until a worker updates it, so it doesn't need to be re-collected every time you sit down to build the schedule.
Scheduling conflicts
Availability shows up directly on the scheduling calendar, so a conflict is visible while you're assigning the shift — not something you find out about after publishing.
Manager visibility, less back-and-forth
Because availability lives in one place instead of a running group chat thread, managers spend less time asking "are you free Thursday?" and more time actually building the week.
FAQ
Do part-time workers set their own availability?
Yes — availability is set per worker and stays on file, so you're not asking the same question over group chat every week.
What happens if I assign a shift outside someone's availability?
Availability is visible directly on the scheduling screen, so you can see the conflict before you publish the shift, not after.
Can availability repeat every week?
Yes — a worker's stated availability carries forward week to week until they update it, rather than needing to be re-entered every time you build a new schedule.
