TimeSimplicity- Notifications for Employees
Employees have the ability to receive text and/or email notifications for various events in TimeSimplicity. For instance, an employee could be notified that a shift has become available for them to pick up or, their shift has been modified.

Your client can designate how those events are communicated to the employee by navigating to Employee dropdown menu and choosing Employee. This will pull up the list of employees and you can click on the name of any employee to view more details. By choosing the Notifications tab, you can see the type of events that will trigger a notification. By clicking the description of the event, you can edit and save the method by which the notification will be delivered.

If the employee will be gone for an extended period of time, you can disable the notifications with the Email and Text Status to the right of the notifications list.

Rather than setting up notifications one-by-one, you can allow the employee to configure the alerts themselves through the Employee Portal. After the employee has logged into the TimeWorkPlus Employee Self Service portal, they would choose "Scheduling" to go to TimeSimplicity. From there, they can change their Notification delivery methods in the Settings dropdown.

Conversely, you can also force an employee to receive notifications by setting up a rule for the Employee Portal Features. This is found in the Company Rules dropdown of TimeSimplicty. You can either add the notification rules to an existing, default rule for the portal or create a new portal rule that can be applied to a group of employees. If you choose to create a new portal rule, you will still need to apply that rule to a set of employees.

Click the Code to configure the rule and choose the Notification tab. Once in this area, you will see the description of the notification. You can click the description to change the settings.

--Default Email will set the employee up with Email notifications by default.
--Default Test will set the employee up with Text notifications by default.
--Email Always On will prevent the employee from turning off the email notification from the Employee Portal.
--Text Always On will prevent the employee from turning off the text notification from the Employee Portal.
--Either Always On will force the employee to use either a Text or Email for being notified.

After making these changes, you will need to Save the Notification window as well as Save in the listings page.
