As we continue to enhance our powerful workforce management software, one of the areas we’ve focused on his how shift bidding and requesting is handled. Our development team has released a new feature that allows administrators greater control over shift pick-up requests.
For those customers who currently use the shift bid module, there is a new option to help control overtime hours. Here’s how it works:
- You now have three options to allow employees to pick up a shift: (1) Immediate/No Approval; (2) Request & Admin Approval Needed or (3) New Hybrid Option
- For number 3 above (hybrid option), once the employee has reached the max number of hours you set, the employee can then “bid” on the shift. Their request will sit in a queue until an administrator approves/denies the request.
- Your agency must currently use the “shift bid module”. If you’re interested in adding this feature to your account, please contact us.
- For those that already use it, this new feature is available now. Please contact us to activate it at no additional charge.
- Your agency can choose the max number of hours that an employee can automatically reach when picking up an open shift.
