The basics
If your account allows it, you can submit your available hours so the scheduling team knows when you’re able to work. Availability is your input only — it tells the team when you can work, not when you will work. Schedules/shifts are assigned separately.
📣 If you do not see a Submit Availability option, your account is not set up to accept availability. In this case, contact your account administrator or Planbase support.
How to submit availability
Log into app.joinplanbase.com.
Click the plus (+) icon in the bottom-left corner and select Submit Availability.
The availability screen opens showing the calendar.
Navigate to the week you want to submit availability for.
Click and drag across the hours you’re available.
Blue blocks indicate available time.
Optional tools
Notes: Add notes for the scheduling team to see when building schedules.
Copy from previous week: Reuse last week’s availability and adjust if needed.
Set preferred hours: Apply your saved preferred hours to the week, then edit if required.
Submitting and errors
When ready, click Submit.
If a red error message appears, something breaks an account rule (for example, submitting availability too close to the start date).
Fix the issue and submit again.
Availability is submitted using the time zone shown in the top-right corner of the screen. If this is incorrect, update your time zone in User Profile before submitting.
Editing availability
You can return to the availability screen to view past submissions.
You can edit availability only if you do not already have a scheduled shift for that day.
