Schedule Request

You can view the status of your request here. The request status you can see based on the action performed on your request:

  • Pending: Request pending action by the supervisor.

  • Approved: Request approved by the supervisor.

  • Declined: Request declined by the supervisor.

  • Discarded: This status is related to the schedule change request. If an agent has a pending request and the schedule gets changed, the request is discarded, and the agent is notified.

  • Canceled: Request canceled by an agent before approval by the supervisor.

  • Canceled-Approved Request: Approved time-off request canceled by an agent.

Request Schedule Changes

You can make changes to your schedule and submit them as a request. The requested changes are sent to your manager. When the manager approves, you'll see the updates in your schedule.

You will be notified once your request gets approved. The notification is sent even if the schedule for that date is not published.

Add Activities

  1. Go to My Zone > My Schedule, or from MAX, go to WEM > My Schedule.

    You can only add activities to the published days unless you request time off.

  3. Select an activity from the drop-down list in the New Activity window.

  4. Define the Start and End times for the activity.

  5. If you're requesting time off for one or more full days, select the All day checkbox and define the Start and End dates.

    Keep in mind:

    • You won't be able to request time off at all (partial or full) if there are no days left in your time-off balance.

    • You can request partial or full day time-off that fall within your schedule. If you are requesting a partial or full day time-off which is not inside your schedule, it will be discarded.

    • Partial time off is deducted according to the start of interval (such as 12:00, 12:30, and 12:45). If your time off starts in the middle of an interval, you may be charged for the full interval. For example, you took partial time off from 9:20 until 12:00. The deducted time off is from 9:15.

View Your Schedule

You'll be notified when your manager has a new schedule for you. The new schedule will appear on the My Schedule page in My Zone. You can filter your schedule based on a date or an agenda and view the schedules of other employees.

To view your schedule:

  1. Go to My Zone > My Schedule, or from MAX, go to WEM > My Schedule.

  2. Select daily or weekly view.

    How to read your schedule:

    • Your shift is marked shaded on the My Schedule page. Hours are displayed from top to bottom. Each hour has an hour line next to it. Mid-hours also have distinct lines. Activities within the shift are marked in different shades, depending on the activity. You can find details of all activities during the shift under the Agenda.

    • The schedule displayed is based on your browser's time zone. This means the times shown will match the time zone set on your computer or device.

  3. Select a date using the date picker. This lets you check your schedule for any upcoming day or week depending on selected view. The days with the published schedule are marked with the green dot in the date picker.

    • Click Today to move quickly back to the current schedule date.

    • Click On Call to view employees who are currently on-call. This is especially useful if you need to forward or escalate a ticket.

    • Click Out of Office to view which employees are not working that day. This can help if you're planning to request days off. You may be more likely to be approved for time- off if other employees are available to replace you.

Define Your Preferences

You can define your preferences for shifts and time-off directly from the My Schedule page.

To define preferences:

  1. Go to My Zone > My Schedule, or from MAX, go to WEM > My Schedule.

  2. Click Options > Shift Preferences.

  3. Select your preferred shift from the drop-down list for each day in the Shift Preferences.

  4. In the Time-Off Preferences area, drag and drop the listed days of the week to the available priority spots.

    For example, if your preferred day off is Monday, drag and drop the Mon date to the Priority 1 slot. If your next preference is Wednesday, drag the Wed date to the Priority 2 slot, and so on.

  5. Click Save.

    Your preferences will be saved and taken into account when schedules are generated.

Check Your Time-Off Balance

If you try to request time off and cannot, or are just curious about how many days you have remaining, you can check your balance from your schedule page.
