If an employee reports sick — that is, creates an illness entry in Timebutler — or if an existing illness entry is deleted, Timebutler can automatically inform the managers, the HR department, and other people by email.
To activate the notification for sickness, proceed as follows:
-
Sign in to Timebutler as an admin.
-
At the bottom left, click Settings > More…, then click Global settings on the right.
-
Check or change the Notify managers and copy recipients about illness entries option and save the change.
-
You can now notify additional email addresses, for example those of employees in the HR department. To do this, add an entry under Copies of information emails.
That’s it: when an employee creates or deletes an illness entry, the manager(s) and the recipients of the email copies are notified.
Important:
If you add the recipients of the Copies of information emails in step 4, you can also select the absence types for which an email is sent. It is important to select all absence types here, or at least the sickness absence types.
