Can anyone cover my 4:00 PM shift tomorrow? I posted it to the Smart Marketplace!

I already hit 38 hours this week, so the overtime guard blocked me from claiming it directly.

I have open availability! Just accepted the reciprocal swap in the app 👍

Multi-Trainer Availability & Blackout Windows

Staff set recurring weekly availability preferences (Preferred, Available, Unavailable) and date-specific blackout dates with automated organizational notice cutoff rules.

Real-Time In-App Team Chat

Keep studio teams connected without sharing personal phone numbers using WebSocket channels (General, Announcements) with role-gated posting permissions.

Personal Calendar Feeds (webcal://)

Frontline employees subscribe to secure RFC 5545 iCalendar feeds to synchronize published classes and shifts directly to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.

1-Tap Emergency Sick Callout

Instant mobile callout (4–24 hours before shift) automatically drops classes to the open pool, logs approved sick leave, and dispatches SMS alerts to supervisors.

Deterministic PTO Accrual Projections

Track available vacation and sick hours in real time with forward-looking accrual calculators before submitting time-off requests.
