By the end you can
  • Set recurring weekly availability and one-off blocked dates
  • Understand how availability feeds matching and notifications

Walkthrough

1
Open your availability
Sidebar → Calendar → Availability

Your working week as a grid — set the days and times you can genuinely take an assignment.

2
Block the dates you already know about

Holidays, appointments, the week you are away. Marking a date as Not available tells our team not to call you about an urgent same-morning job that day. You can still see job postings for that date and accept one if you change your mind. It does not replace checking My Schedule before you accept anything.

Keep it current
Sidebar → Calendar

Availability that is months out of date is worse than none — our team may call you about urgent jobs on days you cannot work, and declining repeatedly can affect how often you are matched.

Worth knowing
  • Set half-days if you genuinely do half-days. Precision here means fewer wasted offers.
What goes wrong
  • Marking yourself available "in principle" for days you cannot really work. It can cost you matches later.
