For Employees:
A new schedule tab will appear in the employee app. Here, workers can:

Shift scheduling in the Hourly app empowers you to manage your workforce more efficiently while giving employees greater visibility and control over their work hours. The ability for employees to block unavailable time ensures better communication and helps prevent scheduling conflicts.
