How to request an exception to a calendar partition rule in a bid round.
Requesting an exception
If your request fails one or more rules, you can request a bid exception. For example, if the bid rules require a minimum request of 40 hours and you have only 32 hours accrued, you can request an exception to the minimum block size enforcement rule.
When the validation fails, note the text that describes why your request failed. You’ll need to select the matching text in your exception request.
- After making and saving your block, select Request bid exception.
2. Select the reason for the exception request and add a comment (required). If you don’t have enough accrued hours, select Insufficient available accrued hours to meet bid rules. If you don’t have enough hours to meet the minimum/maximum hours required in the bid round, select Insufficient available PTO to meet time off rules.
3. Review the tabs and find the reason why your request failed and select the appropriate one to request a bid exception. After making your selections, click Save exception request.
Note: Consider sending a memo to your supervisor/scheduler letting them know you have sent an exception request as there currently isn’t an automatic notification.
You will receive a notification when there is an update to the review status. To view the status, go to the calendar partition > Bid exceptions tab. From here you can edit or delete your request until it is approved or denied.
Once approved or denied, you can no longer edit or delete the exception request.
