# How to submit your availability

**For:** Shift worker
**You'll need:** Availability mode turned on. See {doc}`always-available-mode`.

Tell your manager when you can work — either as a recurring pattern (e.g. every Monday morning), a one-off slot, or a block when you're not available.

## Add a recurring availability block

1. In the left sidebar, click **'My availability'**.
2. Click **'Add recurring'** (top-right).
3. Fill in the days, times, and how often it repeats.
4. Click **'Save'**.

## Add a one-time availability block

1. On **'My availability'**, click **'Add one-time'** (top-right).
2. Pick the date and start / end times.
3. Click **'Save'**.

## Add an unavailable block

1. On **'My availability'**, click **'Add unavailable'** (top-right).
2. Pick the date(s) and time range.
3. Click **'Save'**.

For the full form reference — including the **'This / Following / All'** scope chooser when you edit recurring blocks — see {doc}`/plan-schedules/availability/index`.

## Verify it worked

The new block appears in the matching section of the **'Overview'** tab on **'My availability'**.
