Provider Leave Info
Why would you want to show leave info on your profile?
- You're on vacation, too sick, too busy, or otherwise unable to work.
- To let all your team members know you'll be unavailable (Leave Info is displayed under your contact info on your Team Room listing).
- To reassure buyers that you will be back and haven't dropped off the face of the planet (Leave Info is displayed on your public profile during the dates of the leave).
You may update your leave info at any time.
1. Go to My oDesk -> Profile & Settings -> Leave Info.
2. Check the box to the left of 'I am on leave from'
3. Press the calendar buttons to select the dates you will be unavailable.
4. Press the Save button at the top or bottom of the 'Leave Info' box to apply your changes.
5. You now have the option to notify your active assignments about the leave. Press the Yes button to send a notification email. Press the No button to skip the automated notification email.
6. Even if you sent an automated notification email to your active assignments, we strongly recommend discussing the leave with the buyers it may effect. Things to let them know:
- Whether you will or will not be working on their job during the leave.
- If, when, and how they will be able to communicate with you during the leave.
