How to Manage the Hours of Staff Members Who Work in Multiple Locations

If your business operates across multiple locations, you may need to assign staff members to different locations and manage their working hours accordingly.
This ensures they are only bookable at the correct locations and times.

This guide explains how to:
✅ Assign locations to staff members
✅ Set different working hours for each location
✅ Adjust availability using Fine-Tune Hours

Step 1: Assign Locations to a Staff Member

Before setting up hours for multiple locations, staff must be assigned to the correct locations.

1️⃣ Go to Settings in the left-hand menu.
2️⃣ Select Staff to open the staff management page.
3️⃣ If adding a new staff member:

• Click + Add new and enter their details.
• Click Update to save.
• Return to the Staff page and edit the newly created staff member.
  

4️⃣ If editing an existing staff member:

• Click on the staff member’s name to open their profile.
  

5️⃣ Locate the Locations dropdown.
6️⃣ Select the locations where this staff member is available.
7️⃣ Click Update to save changes.

The Locations dropdown only appears when editing an existing staff member. If adding a new staff member, you must first save their profile, then edit it to assign locations.

Step 2: Set Hours for Each Location

Once a staff member has been assigned to multiple locations, you can manage their availability for each one.

1️⃣ Go to Settings > Staff.
2️⃣ Click on the staff member's name to open their profile.
3️⃣ Select the Hours tab.
4️⃣ Choose a location from the top of the Hours section.
5️⃣ Set the default working hours for that location (e.g., Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 5 PM).
6️⃣ Repeat for each assigned location.
7️⃣ Click Update to save changes.

Each location has its own independent schedule. Be sure to set availability for all locations where the staff member is assigned.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Why don’t I see the Locations dropdown in the staff profile?

The Locations dropdown only appears when two or more locations have been added when editing an existing staff member. If you just added a new staff member, save their profile first, then edit it to assign locations.

Can I assign different working hours for each location?

Yes, each location has its own independent schedule. You must set hours separately for each location in the Hours tab.

How do I prevent staff from being booked at the wrong location?

Ensure that:

• The staff member is only assigned to the correct locations in their profile.
• Their availability is set correctly for each location in the Hours tab.
