unavailability rules

Always know who’s available to work

Take the guesswork out of rostering. With Unavailability Rules, your team can block out days or hours they can’t work—so you can build smarter rosters, faster.

Unavailability rules help you roster with confidence

Managing part-time or casual staff often means juggling changing schedules. Timble’s Unavailability Rules let your team enter the days or hours they can’t work, directly in the app. Whether it’s a one-off or a repeating pattern, you’ll always know who’s available—no need to scroll through messages or check spreadsheets.

Key benefits

📅 No more scheduling conflicts

You’ll see each team member’s unavailability right inside the roster builder, so you won’t accidentally assign a shift they can’t take.

📲 Staff update their own unavailability

Team members can enter their unavailable dates and times via the Timble mobile app—saving you from endless back-and-forth texts or calls.

🔁 Supports both one-off and recurring patterns

Need to block out every Tuesday morning or just this Friday night? Timble supports both. You get the flexibility to match real-life schedules.

💡 Smarter decisions, less admin

Assigning shifts becomes easier when you know exactly who’s available. No need to double-check emails or chase staff.

How it works

Staff or managers add unavailability

Staff can enter their unavailability directly in the Timble app—or managers can do it for them. It takes just a few taps to block out dates or times. Whether it’s a public holiday, study hours, or personal commitments, it’s all tracked in one place.

The system updates the roster view automatically

As soon as unavailability is added, it’s shown in the roster builder. Managers see blocked-out times visually, making it easy to avoid clashes when creating shifts. No need to cross-check messages or calendars.

Assign shifts with full visibility

When building the roster, you can see each team member’s unavailability directly in the scheduling view. This makes it easier to assign shifts to people who are actually available—without needing to check messages or spreadsheets. It’s a simple way to avoid clashes and roster with confidence.

What businesses say

Smarter rostering starts with better visibility

Leave the guesswork behind. With Unavailability Rules, you can build reliable, conflict-free rosters in minutes.
