TCP Announces Leave Bidding Capability for Employee Workforce ManagementTCP (TimeClock Plus), a leading provider of workforce management and time and labor solutions, today announced the addition of the enhanced Leave Bidding feature to its Absence and Leave Management solution. This new feature automates time off requests, while prioritizing employees based on position, seniority, length of employment or other criteria established by the organization, directly through TCP's TimeClock Plus interface. The Leave Bidding feature allows employees to submit requests for planned time off, bidding on future periods, which can be ranked or prioritized according to the organization's preferences. There is also an option to create a "standby list" based on the bid so the "next-in-line" for the same time period can be notified if someone cancels their request after the bid is awarded. Across the public and private sectors, in areas such as public safety, healthcae and emergency response, among others, it is critical that the workforce is properly staffed during all shifts. When time off requests are factored in, it can become a logistical challenge for managers to create a fair system that allows all employees to put their desired request in while also considering employment level. Even with the technology available today, managing time off requests can be a paper-driven, manual process. Leave bidding (or vacation bidding) is a common challenge all organizations-both public and private-face but it is especially challenging in organizations with collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) in place. TCP's Leave Bidding feature facilitates managing the number of planned leave requests for a given resource pool of employees. Unlike manual tracking sheets, the leave calendars allow managers to avoid mistakes and grievances in the leave planning process. Leave Bidding enables organizations to digitize this process by providing capabilities including:
"This latest enhancement was developed as a direct result of listening to our customers, particularly those in the public sector, revealing their time off request process is complex and has many nuances. We knew this aspect of workforce management was ripe for digitization," said Leslie Bodnar, chief marketing & product officer, TCP. "Automating time consuming and difficult tasks through our workforce management solution remains our focus, and we continue to improve upon and respond to what our customers need most."
