Approve or Deny Unfilled Shift Bids

When employees bid on unfilled shifts, you can review their bids and approve or deny them in the Manage Shift Bids panel in Schedules or Centralized Schedules. By default, all shift bids that you can review are assigned the Pending status until you approve or deny them.
