Another bidding question since we're on the subject. (sorry for the drift)

If a person only has 20 (vacation) days to bid for the calendar year. How does one instruct the system to bid ten days for Primary vaca. and then have the remaining ten days for Secondary vaca.?

Asked another way. Is it possible to bid greater than one week of primary vacation days, but less than two weeks, to leave a minimum of seven days or greater for the secondary vacation bidding?

Thanks.

My original thinking of it was just the desktop app was changing, but the guy I worked with yesterday said it's the entire system that is changing. I guess I should pay more attention...

You can use vacation slide in PBS to move the start date of your vacation wherever you want it. I assume your current vacation start date is on a Sunday. If you wanted the prior Fri./Sat. dates off too, and your seniority in category would otherwise allow you to hold those days off, you can use PBS vacation slide to move your vacation (-2) days.

It's day by day. As in, you can request to slide -1, -2, -3, ... etc. and/or +1, +2, +3. +4....


You can do a range, too.

Great! Thanks Newk and Elliot. Tahoe skiing here I come.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong. The way I understand it, is you can only bid in seven day increments. So you could have your PVAC be 7 days or 14 days only (no anything in between like 10). However, anything left over that's less 7 days, will get tacked onto your last awarded week of vacation. So if you bid 14 days for your PVAC, the last 6 days will be tacked onto your PVAC. The catch is ALL THREE weeks have to be available for it to award.

I used the same old PBS to put in all my bids. Then when I went to check out the new web app, it had my bids uploaded into it...so I assume we're still good to use the old system.

I understand and could get behind greenslips just being green slips with no triggers. It's a line the company couldn't fill, and required someone to come in during their off time. Would be worth looking into.
Loss of SA could be during the brief or at MAR, or wherever. I would constitute that comment as "quibbling" 🙃

The way the email/texts/videos sound, the new system is being tested and as such, the old systems link in to it and allows you to use either system to get your bids in.
Once the new system becomes the 'official bidding system', all the emails say that both the current desktop software and the current online version is going to "sunset".
Since they are using that phrase, and since they're giving all the warnings about easybid not being able to interface with the new system, it sounds like they're going to simply shut down the old online system and disable the desktop software interface. At least that is what 'sunset' makes me think.

As a mil guy myself I don't think mil should count toward the GS trigger for a line.

Why does there have to be a GS trigger?
