Assign Employees to Vacation Bidding Subgroups in People

To configure a different level of vacation eligibility for specific employees in a vacation bidding group, you can assign them to a vacation bidding subgroup. When subgroups are associated with vacation bidding groups in the Groups tab of Vacation Bidding Setup, you can define different default minimum and maximum limits for the subgroup’s employees when you configure bidding sessions.

For example, say that a vacation bidding group includes all customer-facing staff in a store. The store requires at least three customer-facing employees to work on a typical day, plus at least one customer-facing supervisor on-site at all times. To support this requirement, they can configure a subgroup for customer-facing supervisors and configure a different minimum default limit for that subgroup in a vacation bidding session. To do this, they’d configure the vacation bidding session’s default limit as three customer-facing employees required to work (representing all employees in the vacation bidding group), with the customer-facing supervisor subgroup requiring one employee to work.

Note: An employee can have only one effective subgroup assignment at any given time.
