To create a split shift, hover your mouse under the first created shift and click on the '+'.
If the "default break duration when creating a shift" option is enabled, as soon as your shift exceeds the minimum time, a break will automatically be added to your shift. Can't forget to schedule breaks anymore ! 👍

Click on a white rectangle to begin
Select "New absence"
Fill in the desired information (type of time off, date or time slot, personal note for the employee or in order to give more information)

Good to know :
A time off can be added over half a day even if there is already a shift scheduled on that day.
You can personalize the duration of a time-off expressed in days (for instance paid leave, sick leave) if it doesn't suit you. We'll tell you more about it here. 👈
