Holidays & Time Off

(Coming Soon) Plan around holidays and scheduled absences with smarter scheduling.

This feature is not currently available in Upstat but is on the roadmap for a future release.


What to Expect (Planned)

Holidays & Time Off support will eventually allow teams to:

  • Mark specific dates as holidays for a roster or account
  • Designate users as unavailable during time-off windows
  • Automatically skip or reassign shifts that fall on these dates
  • Reduce the need for manual substitutions or one-off adjustments

This will make long-term scheduling easier and reduce the chance of coverage gaps during key dates.


How to Handle It Now

Until this feature is released, you can:

  • Use Substitutions to manually assign someone else for holidays or PTO
  • Create short-term placeholder rosters for special events or blackout windows
  • Note known time-off dates during your team’s planning process

Summary

  • Holidays & Time Off is a planned feature, not yet available
  • Substitutions offer a reliable manual workaround for now
  • This feature will help automate gap handling and improve planning in future releases
