The following actions are available in the left pane when a schedule incentive record is open.

Deny

To deny a bid, check the box to the left of the employee bid(s) and click on the Deny button. This button is only visible if there is at least one bid submitted.

Cancel Schedule

Cancels the open schedule incentive record. The status is set to Canceled, and employees cannot submit bids. The date and time the record was canceled is added to the record, with the name of the user who canceled it.

Note: This option is only available if no employees have submitted bids for an open schedule.

More About Time Value Fields

Denial Comments

Free-form text field for the supervisor to record any comments on why the bid was denied.

Hours (ScheduleIncentive)

Used with the Percentage method to determine the length of the incentive schedule.

Increment

When this value is set up, the submitted bid must be an increment of this value starting from the Maximum Bid amount. For example, if the maximum bid is $30.00 and the Increment is .50, the user could submit a bid for $30.00, $29.50, $29.00, etc.

With this example, if the user submits a bid for $28.75, an error message is generated because this is not an increment of .50. If there is no value set up in this field, there are no incremental restrictions on the amount the user can submit.

Note: If there is no value entered in the Maximum Bid field, then the Increment value will be set to zero.

Lunch Length

Used with the Percentage method to determine the end time of the schedule (Hours plus Lunch Length).

Maximum Bid

The highest dollar amount that an employee is allowed to submit for a bid. If there is no maximum value, leave this field blank.
