For example, if the person refuses the work opportunity or the opportunity expires then X amount of hours are applied to the bucket. The bucket is used by logging type rules to sort candidates. Hours charged are defined by your business rules. When this field is used Hours is typically set to blank to deposit actual hours into the bucket.
Offer Count: This is a static offer count charged for this penalty. This applies to organizations using offer counts as a fairness criterion. For example, if the person is offered an opportunity regardless of whether that offer is rejected, skipped, or expired this offer count charge is applied to the bucket.
