What to include in your branch opening hours manager

• Keep the branch in context

  Keep branch, date, normal hours, exception, approval and publication status together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  A branch requests different holiday hours for one day. Keep the dated exception separate from its weekly schedule, then confirm who updates the public listing.

• Keep publication status visible

  Record who will update the public listing after the dated change is approved.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the branch manager a working view and the regional reviewer a review view. Keep branch and date attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
