# How to create availability from a person's employment type

**For:** Manager
**You'll need:** A person whose employment type has per-weekday hours configured. See {doc}`/set-up-your-company/employment-types/index`.

If your company defines per-weekday hours on each employment type (Mon 08:00–17:00, Tue 08:00–17:00, etc.), you can generate matching recurring availability blocks for a person in one click.

## Generate the blocks

1. Open the person from **Company → People**.
2. Click **'Generate availability from employment type'**.

{{ app_name }} reads the employment type's per-weekday hours and creates recurring availability blocks for the person, collapsing identical day-patterns into single weekly rules to keep the data clean.

## Verify it worked

The person now has recurring availability blocks visible in the {doc}`view-the-availability-calendar` and {doc}`view-the-availability-list`.
