Days off don't need an absence or a shift. If an employee isn't working on a given day, leave that day blank on the schedule. Only use Unpaid absence for time off the employee has formally requested, such as unpaid holiday or approved unpaid leave.
Adding an absence
Go to the Absences page under Schedule & Workforce and click Add absence in the top right.
Select the employee, absence type, and date(s).

Assigning Multiple Roles to the Same Person on the Same Day
If you need to assign two different roles to the same person on the same day across locations, follow these steps:
Navigate to the location where you want to add the additional shift.
Switch the view from Department view to People view. This ensures that all roles assigned to the person are visible.
Add the shift as you normally would. This process allows you to manage multiple roles for the same individual seamlessly.
