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.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
