Bidding on shift patterns

You can only bid on shift patterns during your scheduled bid window.

  1. Select Maintenance > Optional Modules > Schedule Bidding > Employee Schedule Bids.
    You can also access this page through a link in the notification message that was sent to you indicating your bid window.

    If access is configured, you can also open this page by selecting Schedule Bidding from the menu in the Self Service Portal.

  2. Select the schedule bid you want to bid on.
  3. For each shift pattern, perform one of these actions:
    • In concurrent or sequential/concurrent mode, specify a value ranking the shift pattern in the Rank field. Valid values are 1-9999. The lowest number is the highest ranking. The ranking numbers are not compared to another employee’s ranking number; only the ranking order is compared. For example, if your lowest number is 10 and another employee’s lowest number is 5, the two shift patterns are compared equally because they have the highest ranking.
    • In sequential mode, select the shift pattern from the Select drop-down list.
  4. Click Submit.
  5. Click Save to review your selections before the bid window expires and finalizes your selections.
