AutoRoster and Shift Bidding are two ways to assign staff to open shifts. With Shift Bidding you offer staff the option to show interest in working the selected shifts by “bidding”, while AutoRoster won’t need the staff interaction, instead it automatically takes into consideration who is available and eligible to work and suggest a roster allocation based on this information.
To open a shift for bidding, the shift must be set as Open under the Allocation area.
The Convert tool can be used to quickly convert Rostered Shifts to a specific status of Allocation.
>
Open shifts can be auctioned to staff for shift bidding or they can be automatically assigned to eligible staff with AutoRoster.
Auctions can be created using the Auction Tool.
>
Select the Date Range of Rostered Shifts to Auction.
Select an Automated auction for AutoRoster or a Staff Bidding auction for Shift Bidding.
Choose the notification options to notify staff of a roster auction if Staff Bidding has been selected.
Select the option to create the auction live now, or make the auction live at a specified date.
Simulate the Auction with your selected settings and confirm the Auction details.
Staff can be selected or deselected for the Auction within the Eligible Bids section.
