🔔 Reports To Notifications

Let the System Do the Reminding for You

⏰ Break Notifications

We’ve all been there—heads down in work and suddenly hours have passed. Break Notifications gently remind employees when their scheduled break is due, based on your site’s rules.

This helps ensure employee well-being and compliance with rest periods, especially in high-paced environments.

When a published shift is updated, your team will now be instantly notified. The alert directs them to their My Schedule page to review the latest details.

Applies only to published rosters

📈 Wage Increase Notifications

Stay Compliant with Age-Related Pay Requirements
