  • Vacation Bid Maintenance
New options are available when entering vacation bids:

You can now enter 99 if you choose to have the system automatically assign the latest weeks that your seniority will allow you to hold.

and/or

You can enter 00 if you choose to have the system automatically assign the earliest weeks that your seniority will allow you to hold.

You have the option of up to five splits.  You can  enter 99 and / or 00 for the entire duration of your allotted vacation weeks (1-5) on one split or you can enter 99 and / or 00  for any or all your allotted weeks each week listed separately on various split choices.  

​Vacation Bids are located under Bids on the TE& Y Main Menu in CMTS .  When clicking on Vacation Bids this Module will walk you through the process of entering and submitting your vacation bids.

​Previous Split and Next Split buttons are a means to toggle back and forth between splits. Delete Split, Page UP and Page Down buttons are self explanatory.  In order to  Page Down all 11 choices must filled with a bid choice. 
Picture

  • Split 1 of 1 - this is the first of five splits you can enter up to 51 choices in each split.
  • Single Weeks  Claimed - Number single weeks claimed this split. 
  • Maximum  Choices Per Split is  51.    T.E. and Y can enter comments for their local chairman.   There are 51 bid weeks  for 2009.  The first bid week will be 1/5/09.
Picture

The example below shows Week “99” enter for DUR of 3 weeks:  This person wants 3 weeks scheduled as late into the year as their seniority will allow them.  With the “99” enter it is not essential to enter any more choices on this split.  The system will assign weeks accordingly to what the person can hold. 
Picture

​This example in which “00” is used signifies that the employee wants to schedule weeks as early in the year as their seniority will allow them to hold  and wants them scheduled consecutively. 
Picture

Split 3 of 5 is another way to enter your bids by using the number that coincides with the week or weeks you wish to bid on. Such as week 18 (04/27) a check mark is  placed in​ SGL column to request this as a single week.  After entering remember to UPDATE.   Also the example shows all 11 choices are completed which  should be done to insure that you will be awarded at least one of  your choices.
Picture

Remember if you do not use the “99” and/or “00” the more choices you enter per split the more likely you are to be awarded a week of your choice.  Here is another example with a choice  for 2 consecutive weeks and week 15 (04/06) chosen as single week.
