Holiday Scheduling

Managing on-call coverage across your team's holidays and PTO is no longer a pain! Rootly's Holiday Scheduler surfaces your team's public calendars alongside your on-call schedules and highlights conflicts in your shifts to make it easy for you to create overrides and ensure complete coverage for your on-call response.

No more jumping between multiple calendars or worrying about gaps in coverage—Holiday Scheduler brings all the information you need directly into Rootly.

Why This Is Important

Continuous on-call coverage is crucial for smooth operations. To account for holidays and vacations, managers typically switch between their HRBP system and on-call schedule to identify and resolve potential conflicts. Usually conflicts wouldn't be spotted, and teams would have to scramble last minute to make sure shifts were picked up on behalf of their out-of-office teammates.

Holiday Scheduler eliminates the hassle of cross-referencing between systems and provides clear visibility into scheduling conflicts, allowing teams to proactively manage coverage with ease.

With Holiday Scheduler, teams can now:

• Integrate external calendars (e.g., national holidays, PTO schedules, team vacation plans) directly into Rootly.
• Automatically detect conflicts when a scheduled responder is on leave.
• Quickly schedule overrides to ensure proper coverage during holidays and PTO.

Start using Holiday Scheduler today and keep your on-call coverage seamless—no matter the season!
