On vacation:
New Hires. When the vacation bid comes out you will be like everyone else. The difference is that you will have only accrued a few days. (AKA less than 14) Just bid weeks like everyone else. It will offer options when bidding these days.
Moveups:
Moveups will be processes just before the bids for OCT LOT's are open. AKA they are run on the fifth of every month for next months bid, if I recall correctly.
