Feature
Time-off requests that don't get lost in a text thread
A time-off request sent as a text message can get missed. ScheduleSpark keeps requests in one place, visible right alongside the schedule you're building.
How workers request time off
A worker submits a time-off request with the dates they need, directly through ScheduleSpark. There's no separate form or side channel to check.
Planning around approved time off
Requests are visible while you're building the weekly schedule, the same way availability is — so approved time off doesn't get scheduled over by accident.
Who it's suitable for
Any team that currently tracks time off through text messages, a shared note, or memory — restaurants, retail, healthcare, hospitality, logistics, and construction teams all use this the same way.
