Overtime Shift Bidding

Organizations that allow employees to bid on overtime shifts will be able to grant access to eligible employees to view available shifts and rank them in order of priority selection. Overtime shift bidding can be awarded based on the rules set by the organization. This will allow for employees who want more hours to pick up shifts but everyone who is eligible has a fair chance to do so. They can bid on overtime shifts directly from a smart phone, tablet, or personal computer. It's a win-win situation for employers who need these shifts picked up and for employees who need the extra hours.
