Staff set their availability in the TimeTally app. You see it all — including leave, TOIL, and bank holidays — before you assign anyone to anything. No more scheduling someone who’s unavailable.
“I used to send a group message asking who was free, wait for replies, and still end up with gaps. Now I just open the calendar.” — Sam W., retail manager
From self-service availability to conflict-free scheduling — everything in one place
Employees mark when they’re available, unavailable, or prefer not to work — from their phone. No text messages, no spreadsheets. You see everyone’s availability on one calendar before you schedule a single shift.
TimeTally shows approved holiday, sick leave, TOIL days off, and availability markers all in the same calendar. So when you schedule, you’re working with the complete picture — not just who says they’re free.
See immediately if you don’t have enough available staff for a shift — before you publish. Plan cover in advance rather than scrambling the night before.
Availability runs both ways. Staff mark when they can work. Once scheduled, they see their confirmed shifts. The gap between “I’m available” and “you’re working” is closed.
Availability data at your fingertips — before you build a single shift
Zero scheduling conflicts
You can't schedule someone unavailable — the system shows you before you try
Staff in control
Employees manage their own availability; managers approve and schedule with confidence
One calendar for everything
Availability, leave, TOIL, and bank holidays all in one view
“We had a constant problem with staff saying 'I told you I couldn't do that day'. Availability in the app means there's a record — no disputes.”
Laura K.
Care home manager
“Knowing who's free before I start the rota makes the whole thing take half the time.”
James F.
Hospitality operations
“Staff actually prefer it. They feel more in control of their schedule when they can set their own availability.”
Nina C.

You schedule someone who told you verbally they weren't available that week
