It would be useful to have a feature that allows managers to mark certain days as “busy work days” or “locked,” meaning employees wouldn’t be able to mark themselves as unavailable on those dates without prior discussion.

This would help with planning around key events — for example, scheduled deep-cleaning days where full team participation is needed, or busy summer days when many want time off but we still need coverage.

The goal is to bring back the moment of discussion before time-off is taken on critical days, instead of having it automatically accepted through the system.
