Submit availability to ensure schedules align with when work can be performed.

## **Why Submit Availability**

Submitting availability helps:

-   Ensure shifts are scheduled during times that fit your schedule
-   Avoid being assigned shifts when unavailable
-   Make it easier to receive shifts that match your preferences
-   Reduce the need to decline or swap shifts later

Keeping availability up to date helps ensure schedules reflect when work can be performed.
