How can I set up alternating hours for staff members?
You can create biweekly schedules in Mangomint for staff members who alternate hours. To do this, add a weekly shift for the staff member, and then add a time block that repeats every two weeks to override the shift accordingly.
Creating biweekly schedules
To create a biweekly schedule for a staff member, begin by adding the staff member's weekly shift.
After adding the weekly shift, override the shift by adding a time block that repeats every two weeks. For example, if the staff member only works every other Monday, you would block their entire Monday shift every other week.
To add a time block that repeats every two weeks, locate the staff member on the calendar and select the start date/time for the time block. Select Create time block.

Select a duration for the time block. Enter a reason for the time block, such as Biweekly schedule. Select Create Time Block.
