Visit Bidding

Take control of your schedule with Visit Bidding. You will have the opportunity to bid on unscheduled visits to take on more hours or build flexibility into your schedule by accepting the bids that you want!

Notes on Visit Bidding

There is a new Message Type in Message Centre – Bidding Invitation: This will notify you of a new bid. You can go to the Bidding Icon within 1.5 hours of the notification to review the bid and make a decision prior to it expiring or closing

Reviewing and Submitting a Bid

The bidding Centre will show you all of your bids with a handy filter along the top. Bidding statuses include Green=Won, Yellow=Active, Red=Closed.

On active bids, a timer to the right will show you how long you have left to respond to the bid. You can swipe to the left to enter the bid.

When reviewing the bid you can:

  • Read the Coordinator Notes,
  • See if the Visit is designated as Onetime, Regular/Ongoing or Temporary
  • View the bid on a Timeline (0ther visits) or MAP (Geography/Travel perspective)
  • Enter a Bid Decision – Accept or Decline – guidelines about what it means when you Accept a Bid

If you do not respond to the bid in the allotted time, the bid will close. You have the ability to change your bid decision as long as the bid is active (the timer is still visible).

Once a bid has completed you will receive a message for won bids, but WILL NOT be notified of bids you have lost.
