Close Your Bidding Window (Sequential Sessions Only)

After you’ve submitted your bids in a sequential vacation bidding session, you can let your bidding window close on its own by taking no action. With the appropriate role access, you can also manually end your bidding window so that the next employee in the bidding sequence can start bidding.

Role feature access: Work > Calendar > Bidding Calendar > Bidding Completed

To manually end your bidding window:

  1. Go to Work > Calendar.
  2. In the top-left corner of the scree, select Bidding Calendar in the view drop-down list.
  3. In the calendar, click any eligible vacation date that’s included in the bidding session that you’re participating in. Dayforce shows a menu containing options.
  4. Click Bidding Completed. Dayforce shows a confirmation message indicating that if you proceed, you won’t be able to submit any more bids in the current submission round.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • Click OK to confirm the closure of your bidding window.
    • Click Cancel to keep your bidding window active and let it continue until its configured end time.

After you close your bidding window manually, Dayforce notifies the employee with the next scheduled bidding window in the sequence that their bidding window is active.
