HR, Payroll and Finance are incorporating automated notifications into daily system processes. These notifications are for events that occur in the system and they are sent through the Employee Portal system directly to an individual or a group. An event typically involves a data change such as an updated record or new record added. The system continually checks for events and when an event occurs, it automatically generates and sends out the notification to the appropriate person(s). This notification will come via either an email to the employee or as an Employee Portal system Alert.
Either type of notification may require action on your part or it may just provide you with information about a change in the system that applies to you.
Examples:
- an email sent to an employee reminding them of an expiring First Aid certification
- a notice to a manager of an upcoming employee evaluation
Email Notification
If you receive an email with this subject line, it is not spam; it is a notification from HR:
Subject: HR – Unit4 – (subject of notification)
Alert Notification
A system Alert notification will show up in the Employee Portal as seen below (number in an orange box by the bell icon). As we start to roll-out more Alerts, you will be encouraged to login to the Portal regularly (daily or weekly) to view these in-system notifications.
Stay tuned for more information on these notifications as they get rolled out.
