Birthdays and Work Anniversaries

Promote a happier workplace by celebrating important staff events! Staff Birthdays and Work Anniversaries will appear on the Schedule as Events for Admins, Managers, and Assistant Managers.

How Birthdays and Work Anniversary Events are created 

Birthdays and Work Anniversaries are auto-generated based on the hire date or birthday entered under their user profile.

These Events will resync every 24 hours. If there are any changes to a user’s profile, these Events will stay up to date with those changes. For example:

• When a user enters or updates their birthday, 7shifts will create or update the Event.
• When an employer enters or updates the user's hire date, 7shifts will create or update the Event.
• When a user's Location assignment changes, the Event's Location(s) will update accordingly.
• When a user has been made inactive, the Event will be deleted.

(Birthday field under an employee's profile)

Based on their date of birth, any Employees under the age of 16 and 18 will now have an indicator next to their name, allowing Scheduling Managers to easily identify if the employee they're scheduling is underage - and helps to ensure you stay labor compliant.
