Change someone's days or balance
Set one person's days for this year on Crew; the days they've used come from approved time off, and cancelling gives them back.
One person
- Open Crew, find the person and open Balances.
- Under the type, type the days to add, like 2, or take away, like -1, and why: "Worked the long weekend". They see your note.
- Tap Adjust.
Their balance changes straight away, and the change shows in their What's been added and taken, with the date and your note.
To give someone a different number of days every year, not just once, put them on another policy for that type (like "3 weeks"), under Balances on Crew. See Time off types and balances.
Moving everyone over from payroll or another app? Use Set everyone's starting balances in Settings, under Time off types, instead of adjusting one at a time.
Everyone, for a type
In Settings, under Time off types, tap How it works for the type. Change the days a year, how they're given, or what carries over. Everyone on the company's policy gets the new numbers straight away.
Used days
Crews Out counts used days itself, from approved time off. You can't type them in.
- Approving takes the work days off their balance.
- Cancelling approved time off gives them back.
- An approved change moves the days with it.
- A denied or cancelled request that was never approved changes nothing.
Days and hours
A request counts only your company's work days, so Friday to Monday is two days when your crew works Monday to Friday. For one day, someone can ask for part of it: a half day, or hours on a company that counts hours, and only that part comes off. Earning monthly gives part days (0.83 a month for 10 a year); people see them to the half day, or the half hour. Show balances in hours under Time off types in Settings.
A new year
Each January 1, the year's days start again under the type's rules. Days left over carry over as the rules say: all, up to a number, or none.
Time off that runs from one year into the next counts against the year it starts in.
Crews Out doesn't apply employment law for you. The numbers and rules are yours to set. See Time off types and balances.
