Schedule Incentive Agreements

The Incentive Agreement button opens a screen to create an agreement for employees participating in the Schedule Incentive feature. This allows employees and non-employees the privilege to bid on schedules. This also allows the manager to approve or deny the application to bid on schedules and to suspend Schedule Incentive rights, should it become necessary.

• Only one agreement can be in effect at one time. If a new agreement is created, the previous agreement is expired on the day before the new one goes into effect.

• Once an agreement becomes effective, it cannot be edited.

Life Cycle of a Schedule Incentive Agreement:

1. The Schedule Incentive Agreement record is created in Configuration > Scheduling > Schedule Incentive Agreement.

2. Employees sign an agreement through Employee > Incentive Agreement.

   • If the schedule incentive agreement is set to auto approve, the request is automatically approved. The effective date is the date the agreement is signed by the employee.

   • If the schedule incentive agreement is not set to auto approve, supervisors must approve signed employee agreements through Actions > Approval > Schedule Incentives Agreements. The effective date of the employee agreement is the date that the supervisor signs the agreement.

3. The current agreement remains in effect until a new agreement is entered. Then the current agreement is automatically expired on the day before the new agreement goes into effect.

   • Depending on indicator settings, the new agreement may need to be signed by the employees and approved by the supervisors before the employee can participate in schedule incentives.

4. If an employee's schedule incentive agreement needs to be suspended, this is also handled through Actions > Approval > Schedule Incentive Agreements.

   • A Suspension Reason is assigned to the employee, which determines the number of days of the agreement suspension.
