How do I create a paid unavailability block for my staff?
This article will outline the process of implementing a paid unavailability block for your teachers. This enables teachers/staff to receive compensation for state-mandated breaks or while undertaking administrative tasks outside of teaching hours.
First, navigate to the teacher's profile and select the pencil icon:
Within their profile, you can scroll to "Unavailable Hours/Days" and click "+Add Unavailable Hours/Days"
Fill in the applicable information.- Select "Multiple Dates" from the dropdown if this is a recurring weekly occurrence.
- Select "Specific Date" if this will only occur once.

Be sure to click 'UPDATE STAFF' on the next screen to save these changes.
