How do I create, edit, or delete Blackout Dates?

This article guides managers on how to set up Blackout Dates for Labor Scheduling on Decision Logic’s platform.

Overview

A Blackout Date is any date or a range of dates that employees are not allowed to request off. Decision Logic does not permit employees from submitting a time off request when a Blackout Date is scheduled. Managers will need to approve or deny all employee requests.
