Benefits of Alerts and Workflow
Triggered Alerts vs. Timed Tasks
Triggered Alerts
A triggered alert enables an action to be taken when a particular event has occurred. Depending on your policies, you determine the actions because you know what information you want immediate access to. For example, you may want to schedule an alert if there is a sudden increase in sickness absence, overtime or a violation to working time legislation.
Timed Tasks
A timed task is a task that is configured to run at certain intervals e.g. daily, weekly, monthly etc. Timed tasks could be used to automatically generate reports areas such as punctuality checks, monthly absence figures or weekly overtime reports.
Key Capabilities
Integration
Can be integrated with other Softworks products to prompt managers to check for doctor’s notes, carry out return-to-work interviews or send reminders to do so.
Enhancement
Enhances the Softworks range as a proactive Time & Attendance solution.
Security
Offers security – security selection and profile for users will be respected within the generation of tasks.
