Staff availability

Handle the real complexity of a beauty salon's team schedule — staggered start times, maternity cover, phased returns and holiday rotations — all in Xircuit. Clients see accurate availability every time, and you never have to apologise for a booking the team cannot honour.

Clients only see real open slots — never ones your team cannot fill.

  • Configure staggered start times per therapist so early and late bookings are always covered.
  • Add a maternity or long-term leave period in one step — all future slots for that therapist are hidden immediately.
  • Manage phased returns with reduced-hour schedules that activate on a set date automatically.

Xircuit's staff availability module lets you set working hours, recurring schedules and one-off exceptions for every team member. The booking system draws directly from live availability — so clients are only ever offered slots that someone on your team can actually take.

Real-time availability

Staff schedules feed live into the booking engine — no lag, no manual updates between a rota change and client-facing slots.

Exception handling

Block individual days, holidays or training sessions as one-off exceptions without rebuilding the whole schedule.

Per-staff working hours

Set different hours for each team member — part-timers, job-sharers and contractors all managed correctly from the start.

Cover and substitution

Reassign services to a cover colleague instantly when someone calls in sick — affected clients can be notified automatically.

Bank-holiday and closure cascade

Apply a closure across all staff with one action — public holidays, refurbishments and emergency closures handled in seconds.

Staff availability

Beauty salons managing maternity covers and part-time therapists in Xircuit commonly report zero booking errors — even as their team composition changes week to week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I set different hours for different days of the week?

Yes. Each staff member has a day-by-day schedule so you can configure different start and end times for every day of the working week.

What happens to bookings when a staff member goes on holiday?

Add a holiday block to their schedule and Xircuit hides their slots automatically for that period. Existing bookings in that window are flagged so you can reassign or contact clients proactively.

Can I share a role across multiple staff members?

Yes. Assign a service to multiple staff and clients will be offered any slot where at least one of them is available — the system handles the distribution automatically.
