• How Workforce Management works

If you want to work overtime, WFM enables you to bid on overtime slots presented in Overtime Offers. View Overtime Offers that are open for bidding by clicking Bidding > Overtime. You can access overtime offers only after they've been marked "open" by a supervisor. If you do not see Overtime offers listed in this view, either none exist or none are open.

Each row in this view displays one overtime offer and information about each offer is presented in these columns:

• Overtime bid—The name of the overtime offer.
• Activities—The activity associated with the overtime offer that you will work on.
• Start time—The start date and time of the offer.
• End time—The end date and time of the offer.
• Status—The status of the overtime offer, either Open or Closed.
• Bids—The number of time intervals or slots you bid on in an overtime offer.

The start and end date/time are in your timezone.
