Hey @user100101001. I’m sorry to hear that your team is behaving this way. But I guess it happens. Still I’m thankful that I’ve not had to deal with that kind of pettiness yet because I would have not been nearly as patient as you. Ha. Anyway…. Unfortunately, this is not currently possible. The scheduling portion of Square Team is set up to mimic the old way of printing a schedule and posting it on the wall. Even with that, employees would see other employees’ schedules, though.
Anyway, I’d normally recommend that you head to the Square App Marketplace and look for a third-party scheduling solution that allowed this. But the few I looked at don’t have that capability, either. If you want to, you can head over to the Ideate Board and submit a feature request to the Staff & Payroll Team for them to review and make a decision about. But otherwise, other than sitting your team down and setting them straight about this, I can’t think of any other short-term solution other than not allowing use of the Team App at all. That way, your employees would only get an email or text about their schedules (and no one else’s) as they already do now. Ugh.

@Wrifton That does not exist yet. And I’ve seen no announcements about it coming, nor is there a current beta test. Maybe a Square moderator will weigh in, but don’t hold your breath. Square does not share their product roadmap plans, and we usually hear about new features when they are rolled out or when a beta test is enrolling testers. Normally, I’d tell you to go to the Ideate Board and submit a feature request but I would assume that @user100101001 already did so. You can go there and look and if they did you can add your support. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait. I’m sorry you’re getting this kind of flack from your employees.
@Wrifton I have a quick question. Do you NOT use the Team App to allow your employees to trade shifts of to cover shifts for another team member? Because, if you do, and if Square hides other team member’s shifts, you would lose this ability and you would become responsible to handle all shift trades and covers manually. In my case, this would be a severe problem as it is so nice not to have to be bothered by these things.
I understand if you don’t mind doing this. But I did want to strongly point out a potential drawback to doing what you ask.
