WorkTech Messenger and Alerts™

Automated Alerts and Broadcasts From WorkTech Time

WorkTech Messenger and Alerts is a multi-function communication tool that enhances WorkTech Time with automatic, personalized email alerts and information to management, staff and employees. It can, for example, remind an employee about their vacation balance or a missing time entry, remind supervisors to approve time, and let managers know about missing time reports and upcoming employee leave. Payroll can benefit from automatic distribution of reports for items such as overtime and unapproved leave requests. HR can broadcast messages and recognitions. 

Immediate Information for Fast Payback

It proactively watches for newsworthy information in your WorkTech Time labor tracking system and sends personalized messages to the right people at the right time
