Notifications

When a user changes or adds certain data in the system, notifications are automatically generated to people who need to know about them.  This is a very useful communication feature of PeopleWerksHR.  These notifications are shown on the system Home page but they can also be sent as emails to people who are not users of PeopleWerksHR.

There are over thirty different notifications covering additions or changes in the following types of information:

  • Name
  • Contact Information (address, email address, phone #, etc.)
  • Emergency Contact
  • Employment Status
  • Job Assignment
  • Job Salary
  • Job Contract
  • Demographics
  • Education Hours
  • Background Check Dates
  • Leave Requests

The list of notifications on the Home page can serve as an action item list.  You can view the notification and when you do not need it any more, just delete it.  You can also select one or more notifications to print or export.

To subscribe to additional notifications, click on the My Preferences section in the My Account menu.

To subscribe others to get notifications, click on the Notification Assignments section in the Admin/Config menu.  Click here for more information.

Announcements

The system home page includes a section for announcements and alerts.  These include information about upcoming releases and new features, reminders for performing certain tasks, tips and help videos for effective system  usage, and more.  The most recent announcements will be highlighted in red.
