# How to check your availability

**For:** Shift worker
**You'll need:** Nothing.

Open **'My availability'** to see what you've already told your manager about when you can — and can't — work.

## Open My availability

1. In the left sidebar, click **'My availability'**.
2. The **'Overview'** tab opens by default.

## What each section shows

The overview is split into three sections:

- **Recurring** — every recurring availability block you've created, with full history.
- **One-time** — your one-off availability blocks from the last 30 days.
- **Unavailable / leave** — your unavailable blocks and leave requests from the last 30 days. Leave entries show their approval status.

```{tip}
If the **'Recurring'** section is hidden and you see an "always available" banner, your account is in always-available mode. See {doc}`always-available-mode`.
```

## Verify it worked

You can see your current recurring pattern and any recent one-time or leave entries on the **'Overview'** tab.
