# Availability & Time Off

> How to approve or reject Time Off requests of your workers?

Availability or Time Off can be added by the worker on their **[Worker Calendar](https://support.roostedhr.com/en/articles/9490982-worker-calendar)** or added by an admin on the **Worker Profile**.

## Using the Availability System

For each worker, their calendar can be accessed directly from their home screen. To specify times and dates of availability using the calendar, follow these steps:

1. **Choose a Date**: Select the desired date on the calendar.

2. **Add Availability**: Click on **Add Availability** to choose the available times for the selected date.

3. **Set Recurrence**: If you want the availability to repeat on the same day of the week in the future, select the **Repeating** option.

This will ensure that your availability is consistently updated and reflected in future schedules.

## Overnight or 24-hour shifts

To specify overnight or 24-hour availability, select the **overnight** option for each relevant day. This will extend the ending time by 24 hours, converting the availability into an overnight slot.  For example, if you set availability from Tuesday 9 AM to 6 PM and check overnight, it will adjust to Tuesday 9 AM to Wednesday 6 PM.

For more details on how workers and admins can add time off and the available options, refer to the **[Time Off Requests](https://support.roostedhr.com/en/articles/9497290-time-off-requests)** section.

**Availability Can Limit**:

* **Shift Visibility**: Determines which shifts your workers can see.

* **Shift Signup and Requests**: Affects which shifts your workers can sign up for or request.

* **Sign-Up Bot Messages**: Influences when workers receive notifications from the Sign-Up Bot.

You can also adjust your settings for **Availability & Time Off** to manage these aspects effectively. Please see **[Availability & Time Off Settings](https://support.roostedhr.com/en/articles/9491463-availability-time-off-settings)** for more information!

Using Availability is an advanced setting on your account. Please contact a Client Success Specialist if you are considering using this option.
