Schedules Settings Overview
Here’s an overview of these settings:
-
Only with shifts: Send notifications only to employees who have been scheduled for shifts. When enabled, employees who don’t have shifts on a particular day won’t receive any notifications.
-
Shift reminders: Employees will receive a mobile notification reminding them about their upcoming shifts. You can set this reminder to trigger a specific number of hours before the shift start time. The notification includes details about the shift, such as the time and location, along with any important events happening that day.
⚠️ This feature is only available for accounts in the following countries: Bermuda, Canada, Singapore, United States of America, United Kingdom.
⚠️ Ensure the Time Zone is correctly set up for each Location's settings. This is found under Settings > Locations / Departments / Roles > Locations > the Location name > General.
⚠️ Employees must enable SMS or push notifications on their mobile devices to receive shift reminder notifications. -
Hours to notify before shift start time: Specify the number of hours before a shift that an employee should receive their reminder notification. For example, setting this to 1 hour will notify employees one hour before their shift begins, giving them time to prepare or commute.
