Notification for sickness

If an employee reports sick, that is, enters a sickness entry in Timebutler, or if an existing sickness entry is deleted, Timebutler can automatically inform the supervisors and the HR department or other people by email.

To activate the notification for sickness, proceed as follows:

1)
Log in to Timebutler as an admin.

2)
Click at the bottom left on “Settings > More..”, then on the right on “Global Settings”.

3)
Check/change the option “Information email when entering and deleting sickness entries” and save the change.

4)
You can now notify additional email addresses, for example those of employees from the HR department. To do this, add an entry under [Copies of information emails(/set-up/more-settings/email-copies-to-hr-or-other-recipients/).

That’s it: when an employee enters or deletes a sickness entry, the supervisor(s) and the recipients of the email copies are notified.

Important:
If you enter the recipients of the [Copies of information emails(/set-up/more-settings/email-copies-to-hr-or-other-recipients/) in step 4), you can also select the absence types for which an email is sent. It is important that you select all absence types here, or at least the sickness absences.
