About the Employee Bid List

The employee bid list controls the order in which employees bid.

A large part of bid configuration is creating the employee bid list. Typically, more senior employees bid first.

In the Bid Configuration wizard you can do the following:

Add employees to bids
Remove employees from bids
Change the bid order
Reload employees in bids

Note: Reloading employees undoes changes made to an employee bid list and reloads accrual balances for bids with absence bid units.

By default, a bid includes all active employees with employee types in the defined bid units as of the start date of the bid in participating divisions. Employees appear in the Bidding screen and the employee page of the Bid Configuration wizard in the order in which they bid. Initially, employees appear in order of seniority number plus the bid sequence adjustment values for their employee types, as defined in the Employee Types ancillary data screen.

Note: You can copy an existing bid to a new sign-up period using the Work Planner Replicator screen.
