We've built in a way to easily take time off without having to completely adjust your scheduled availability. This quick guide outlines the two options tutors can use to modify their schedules in the event of an upcoming vacation, holiday, or day off from work.
Availability Exceptions
Availability exceptions allow for you to modify your tutoring schedule in the event you'll be unavailable on a day you normally could work with students. Availability exceptions are temporary changes to your weekly recurring availability. When you attach an availability exception to your recurring availability on a particular day, the availability exception will expire after the day has passed, and recurring availability will return to normal.

Availability Exception Example Scenario:
Your weekly recurring availability shows that you are available for sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 9:00AM to 12:00PM. However, this upcoming Monday is a holiday, and you will not be available. You can then attach an availability exception to that Monday's recurring availability, as shown in the example below.
Vacation Time
Setting vacation time allows for you to mark yourself unavailable for work for the entire duration of the vacation, without having to delete the recurring availability you've already set. Vacation time is a temporary change you can add to your availability. Once the final day of the vacation period has passed, the your availability will revert back to the pre-defined recurring availability settings.

Vacation Example Scenario:
Your weekly recurring availability shows that you're available for sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 9:00AM to 12:00PM. However, you will taking a week-long vacation, from Friday afternoon (12/22) until the following Friday afternoon (12/29). You can add this vacation, with the vacation time beginning at 1:00PM on Friday (12/22), and ending at 1:00PM the following Friday (12/29).
By setting your vacation with these dates and times, you'd still be available for sessions on the morning of 12/22 since recurring availability shows you're available on Fridays from 9:00AM to 12:00PM. However, the vacation time would mark you unavailable for sessions on Monday (12/25), Wednesday (12/27), and Friday (12/29), as shown in the screenshot below:
