Rules

Administrators can create rules to automatically enforce policies and keep job distribution fair among personnel. If personnel click on a job that would violate any rule you have in place, they will not be able to apply and the job's Apply Status will always display the reason as to why. Rules can also be used in conjunction with Job Sets to ensure bidding runs smoothly, with equal distribution of jobs.

An example of a policy-based rule might be something like, "Employees may not exceed more than 20 hours of overtime per week" or "Lieutenants may not apply for backup positions".

An example of a fairness-based rule could be, "You may not apply for more than 1 job per 10 minutes. Please wait to apply for more" or "You can only apply for up to 5 jobs in a single day".
