Availability Conflict Warnings
When you assign a shift to an employee who has marked themselves as unavailable (via one-off entry, recurring entry, or their default availability setting), the system shows an availability conflict warning.
These warnings are informational only — they don't prevent the assignment. This allows managers to override availability in emergencies while still being aware of the conflict.
The warning includes the employee's notes if they provided a reason (e.g., "Team practice").
See Employee Availability for details on how availability is managed.
