You have the ability to limit the number of staff on leave on specific days within the roster/rota. This will help to reduce labour shortages and ensure you're sufficiently staffed.

How it works
When you set a limit for the number of staff on leave on a specific day, the number is considering approved leave requests.
For example, your limit is 2 leave requests for an upcoming Saturday. You have already approved two leave requests for that Saturday. A 3rd staff member submits a leave request for that day; they will not be allowed to submit a leave request
Set a limit on leave requests
To set a limit leave requests, you must create an event for the specific day/dates. To create an event, navigate to your rota and select Events & Comments:
Select + Add new event:
Add event name, select locations, and set day/dates. To limit the number of leave requests, tick Prevent staff from taking leave box which will allow you to edit:
Maximum number of requests
Leave type (under 'Applies to')
Make sure to finish by hitting the Add new event button!
