Steps for Creating a Schedule Incentive

Activity Code

The activity code to be assigned with this shift. Built into the activity code are the starting and ending time of the shift, lunch length, coverage, etc. Note: Activity Code Indicator Sched Incentive Standard 1 must be set to Y (yes) for the activity to be displayed in the Field Look Up Values in the right pane.

Auto Approve

Indicates whether the schedule incentive bid is set to be auto approved (Yes/No). Auto approved bids are automatically awarded to the lowest bidder on the closing date/time of the schedule, provided the schedule does not create an exception above the allowed level.

For example, if the employee will surpass his or her approved overtime value, and the overtime rule exception level is set at a Critical level, the employee will not be awarded this shift.

Note: The level of exception that can be overridden is set on the Configuration section>Scheduling card>Staffing Configuration screen>Schedule Incentive Auto Approval Exception Override field.

Profile Code

The profile code that is assigned to the available shift.

Stage

The level of access that is currently being allowed to bid on the schedule incentive. The first stage of access is at the position permission level. If no qualifying bids are submitted at that level, then access is progressively opened to higher and higher levels of the corporate structure on the dates entered.

Status

Indicates the current status of the schedule incentive bid request. Options are Closed, Canceled, Open or Failed. Note: A bid is set to Closed when the Close Schedule Incentive process is completed on the record, not when the closing date and time has passed.

The status options are as follows:

  • Closed

The status is set to Closed when an authorized user approves the final bid request for the shift through the Review Bid Request screen.

  • Canceled

The status is set to Canceled when a user cancels the schedule incentive through the Review Bid Request screen or when the system sets the value when no bids were submitted and the Closing Date and Time has been reached.

  • Open

The status is set to Open from the time the schedule incentive is set up until the status is either changed by an authorized user or until the system sets the value to Canceled if no bids are submitted before the closing date or sets it to Failed if the bid cannot be successfully awarded.

  • Failed

The status is set to Failed when a schedule incentive is set to be Auto Approved, but the process could not successfully award the schedule to a bidder. When this occurs, a manager must manually review the record and award the bid.

Transaction Date Range Begin

The beginning date for finding schedules for bidding that occur within the range.

Transaction Date Range End
