Why are employees shown in red on the schedule?
If an employee has requested off or is labeled as Unavailable to work but is scheduled to work, they will appear in red under the Spreadsheet View tab within the schedule. This serves as an alert to you, notifying you that changes should be made to the schedule, either deleting the unavailable employee’s shift or reassigning the shift to another employee.
Employees highlighted in red can also signify that the employee is terminated within your POS and is therefore completely unavailable to work.
