Use “Filter” to show only your own schedule or the program(s) in which you work,
departments added (1010, 1030, 3000 etc.) to help see all staff in a program,
You can use “Time-off” to request vacation, vacation bonus, float etc.
We are transitioning to Payworks for time off requests – until further notice, use both. Request your time off on FMS for scheduling purposes and on Payworks to track available time etc.
All schedule entries have the same format:
1). staff or home/client,
2). Shift,
3). comment if needed,
4). a separator if more than one shift or staff per day.
Each programs has it’s own colour e.g. 1010 (Overnight staffed homes) are
green, 3000 Community Access are yellow to make it easier to follow,

have an iphone, smartphone, google calendars, outlook and others.
