3 2027 AL calendar

Use the 2027 AL calendar to save the actual names in the available AL slots. It opens in January by default.

  1. Sign in as Staff, Senior or Admin. Open the correct month and check the date and centre of the slots you intend to use.
  2. Press Lock sheet. In the name panel, select your own nickname, then confirm. Admin has admin - George as the only choice.
  3. Check the banner: Sheet locked by [your selected name]. Only the browser session holding this lock can edit and save.
  4. Edit the name slots in the correct centre. Staff can edit names; layout and row-planning controls belong to the administrator.
  5. Press Save and wait for the successful save message. Check your names and dates again.
  6. Press Unlock sheet to free the calendar. If you were selecting AL for a round, return to the order page and mark that round complete.
The button sequence is: choose your name → Lock sheet → edit → Save → Unlock sheet. Lock starts editing; Unlock releases the sheet for the next person.
One editor at a time across the 2027 calendar. Selecting a name does not give every browser permission to edit. Another browser or private window has a different session. If someone else holds the calendar, wait for them to save and unlock it. Do not close the page as a substitute for unlocking.

Checking your own AL and compensation

Use the staff search to choose a name. Its dialog can filter AL or compensation and a month range. The browser remembers those search filters for the next name. Export all downloads all staff's whole-year AL and compensation records, regardless of the current search filters.

AL requests and staff notes

Use the 2027 AL request form for Add, Cancel or Swap requests and the 2027 AL request list to follow their status. Choose the correct staff name and dates. While a request is Unreviewed or Pending, Amend notes lets staff update the staff note; Enter saves it and Discard input abandons that note edit.

An approved Add or Cancel request changes the calendar only when its Transfer to AL calendar action succeeds. A failed transfer does not partly apply a date range. Swap requests require manual handling and do not offer direct transfer. Ask the administrator if a transfer reports a problem.
