  • 1.  new here - scheduling RDO for specific day

    Hello,
    We are just days away from our conversion to the Genesys platform and pretty excited about it!

    One thing I swear I read / saw in the training materials is that an agent can submit a request to have a specific day for their regular day off and not use any of their PTO to cover it.

    Example:
    Agent has floating days off in their workplan
    Agent wants one of their days off to be Wed 7/22 specifically
    They do not want reduced paid hours for the week
    They do not want to use any paid time off (PTO) to cover the day

    I remember learning about the ability to do this, but i do not remember how to make it happen.​

    Can any of you point me in the right direction?
    Thank you,
    Jamie

    Found the material that refers to this: https://learn.genesys.com/learn/course/273/play/24977:865/workforce-management-for-agents-schedule-preferences

    This describes this as a "Preferred Day Off"
    "A Preferred Day Off" is requesting that the schedule is created with you not working on a particular day."

    Genesys Cloud WFM currently has no concept of a preferred/reoccurring/regular day off as submitted by the agent.

    If it is truly regular then I would say that communication between the agent and the scheduler can occur and a specific work plan for the agent can be designed with a day off configured.

    Perhaps 'preferred' in the learning wording is just to denote that it isn't guaranteed that the request will be preferred rather than a 'Preference' type feature.

    Both of the following ideas might be utilized here, I'd recommend adding a comment for your use case, or create a new idea in Ideas Lab:
    1. Agent availability: https://purecloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/CLWFO-I-100
    2. Agent preferences: https://purecloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/CLWFO-I-102
