Christmas Scheduling Requests

December is always a busy but exciting time at The Basement Gym + Studio. To help us plan a festive rota that works as smoothly as possible, we ask all service providers to submit their December availability and non-availability requests in advance.

How to Submit Your Request

  1. Deadline: Submit your request by 15th October 2025.

  2. Where: All requests must be submitted via the form below. Requests submitted late or in any other format will not be prioritised.

  3. What to Include:

    • The exact dates you request to be unavailable to deliver services.

    • Whether these are full days or part-days.

    • Where possible, please provide both a first choice and a second choice for days off. This helps us balance preferences fairly across the team.

    • Any flexibility you can offer (e.g., “prefer mornings only on this date” or “can swap to another day if needed”).

Scheduling Process

  • After the 15th October deadline, management will review all requests.

  • We will aim to accommodate preferences as fairly as possible while ensuring each Club remains fully operational.

  • A draft rota will be circulated for review, we will aim to get the final rota locked in by 3rd November 2025.

Important Notes

  • While we always try to be flexible, not all first-choice requests can be guaranteed. Providing a second-choice option increases the likelihood of your request being accommodated.

  • Please avoid booking travel, tickets, or other non-refundable commitments until your availability has been confirmed on the final rota.

  • Clear, early communication helps us create the fairest possible schedule for everyone.

Summary

  • This process ensures we can plan ahead, balance service coverage, and give everyone certainty for the festive season. Thank you for helping us to make December a positive and well-organised month for the whole team and our members!

  • Oh… and this is also the first step for Christmas Party planning - so get those dates in! 🥳🥂🎄
