Scheduling Time Off in Bookings

Employees will need time off when they are sick, on vacation, or unavailable for other reasons. You can schedule time off from the Microsoft Bookings calendar, and then the employee will be unavailable for bookings during the specified time. Time off can also be scheduled for the entire staff list on days that they are closed.

2. In the navigation pane, select Calendar > Time Off.

3. Fill in the details, including a title, start and end date, location, and any additional notes. If the employee will be gone for full day or for several days, select All day event.
