Time-Off Planning

Managers ask Joy who's off in a given week and see where coverage gets thin, before it becomes a problem. Joy reads approved time off from your HRIS and lays out who's out which days, where requests overlap, and which days to watch.

Who on the Customer Support team is off the week of March 9, and where does our coverage get thin?

Pulled from approved time off in your HRIS, read only and current as of this morning. Here's the week at a glance for Customer Support.

Here's the week of March 9 for Customer Support, read from approved time off in your HRIS as of this morning's sync. Three people are out across the week, and one day is worth watching.

Who's out, by person:

Priya MenonMon–Tue (Mar 9–10)Overlaps with Aisha on Tuesday
Aisha BelloTue–Wed (Mar 10–11)Overlaps with Priya on Tuesday
Luis FerreiraThu–Fri (Mar 12–13)Solo cover; desk stays at seven

The one to watch is Tuesday, March 10: Priya and Aisha are both off, which drops the desk to six people, right at your coverage floor with no buffer for a sick day or a spike. Every other day keeps at least seven on, so you're comfortable there.

If you want a cushion on Tuesday, that's the day to line up a swap or pull someone from the shared queue, before the week starts.

From scattered requests to a clear week

Time-Off Planning lets a manager ask who's off in any week and get the answer laid out: who's out which days, where two people overlap, and which days drop below a comfortable coverage level. Joy reads approved time off directly from your HRIS, so it's the real, current picture, not a stale calendar someone forgot to update.

  1. Connect your HRIS

    Connect the HRIS or time-off system where approved leave lives. Joy reads approved time off, read only, and stays current as new requests are approved.

  2. Tell Joy the team and the week

    Ask about any team and any week or date range in plain language: "Who's off on the Customer Support team the week of March 9?"

  3. Review the coverage read

    Joy lays out who's out which days, where people overlap, and which days fall below a comfortable coverage level, so the thin spots are obvious at a glance.

  4. Plan the cover where you work

    Use the read to line up a swap, shift a deadline, or pull in backup. Joy shows the picture; you make the calls and act in your own tools.

  5. Make it one click for your team

    Save this ask as a custom command on the assistant your team already uses, so anyone can run it in one step.

Deixe do seu jeito

Straight From Your HRIS

Reads approved time off from the system of record, so the week you see is the real one, not a spreadsheet someone forgot to update.

Overlap Detection

Flags the days when two or more people are out at once, the overlaps that quietly turn into coverage gaps.

Any Week, Any Team

Ask about this week, next month, or a specific date range, for one team or several. Joy scopes the read to what you ask.

Read-Only by Design

Joy never changes a schedule or approves anything. It shows you where you're thin; you decide how to cover it.

Holiday Crunch

Heading into a long weekend or the December stretch? Ask across a multi-week span to see where stacked requests leave you short.

Multi-Location

Managing teams in different offices? Scope the read to one site so you see the coverage that actually affects that location.

Shared Coverage

For teams that back each other up, ask across both so you can see who's free to cover when one side runs thin.

Deadline Check

Got a launch or close date coming? Ask who's off that week so you know your real capacity before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Joy know who's off?

Joy reads approved time off directly from your connected HRIS or time-off system, read only. When you ask about a team and a week, it pulls the current approved leave for those people, so the picture reflects what's actually booked, not a calendar someone forgot to update.

Can I check coverage for any week?

Yes. Ask about this week, a week next quarter, or a specific date range, for one team or several. Joy scopes the read to exactly what you ask and lays out who's out which days across that span.

Does Joy show where coverage is thin?

Yes. Along with who's off, Joy flags the days when people overlap and the days that fall below a comfortable coverage level, so the at-risk days stand out instead of surprising you later in the week.

Does Joy change schedules or approve time off?

No. Time-Off Planning is read only. Joy shows you who's out and where you're thin; approving leave and arranging cover stay with you, in your own tools.

What does Joy need to answer accurately?

A connection to the system where approved time off lives, plus knowing who's on which team. With those in place, Joy can answer coverage questions for any team and any week in seconds.
