To submit a bid request in a concurrent vacation bidding session:
- Do one of the following:
- In Work > Calendar, click the appropriate date on the calendar and select Create time off request in the menu.
- In Work > Time Away List, click Request New Time Off.
- The Create Time Off Request slide-out panel opens.
- In the Reason drop-down list, select the appropriate reason.
- Do one of the following:
- Specify the length of the time away request using the Start and End fields.
- If the Start and End fields are already populated, edit the duration of the period you want to bid on.
- If you selected a valid reason and specified an eligible period, Dayforce shows your bidding order rank under the Type of Request section to indicate that your request will be submitted as a vacation bid:
- (Optional) Enter a comment in the Employee Comments field.
- Click Submit.
You can submit any number of bids, as required, while your submission round is still active. After the submission round ends, the session enters a processing round where Dayforce processes all vacation bids and approves and denies them based on the session’s configuration.
