A: Hi Sharon,

Thank you for reaching out!

Currently, our system allows employees to update their availability, including marking unavailable times and preferred working hours. You can find more details about this feature here: https://help.camelohq.com/articles/guide/scheduling/availability/.

While employees can set their availability, managers retain the flexibility to assign shifts during those time blocks if necessary. This approach encourages collaboration between managers and employees to find workable solutions, ensuring greater flexibility rather than allowing employees to completely block their schedules.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!
