FAQs

When setting up your site, you set default work hours that apply to all staff members. You can then customize the default hours for specific staff members, which is useful for part-time staff or staff working shifts. It also helps when you have seasonal work or maternity leave cover.

Creating custom hours for a staff member

You can change a staff members' working hours from the staff tab in your site's dashboard, or from the Wix app on your mobile device. This is useful for creating recurring changes to a staff member's hours now, or in the future.

When you create custom hours, it overrides your default hours for that staff member. Any changes you make to your default hours do not affect staff members' custom working hours.

Note:

Changing staff member working hours affects your appointment services' availability.

Viewing your work schedule

The work schedule shows a weekly view of all of your staff members' hours. You can scan through upcoming shifts, choosing the relevant time period and staff member.

This is useful when someone requests time off, for example, and you need to check which other staff members are available to cover their shifts.

Making one-time changes to staff working hours

Editing or removing a staff member's hours

When editing a staff member's custom working hours, you can choose when you want the changes to take place. This is great for temporary changes, for example, if a staff member needs to finish early on certain days. You can also remove them from a specific time slot if the staff member's hours change.
