You can link your Payroll classic platform with Slack to automatically update employee statuses when they are on time off, showing an emoji and a return date. Admin permissions are required to enable this feature in Slack. If an admin user activates the integration, only members and guests will see status updates, but if the primary owner enables it, all users in the workspace will receive updates.
Important
The Slack integration does not account for bank holidays and will only reflect the time off entered into the payroll platform.

Further information
What happens with bank holidays?
The integration does not consider bank holidays; the payroll platform just looks at how much time off you have entered into the platform. The user that enables the integration must have admin permissions, or higher in the Slack workspace. For example, if an admin user enables the Slack integration, then only members and guests will receive status updates. If the primary owner enables it, then all users in the Slack workspace will receive status updates
What happens with employee time off?
You can integrate your payroll platform with Slack to have your employees status updated when they are on time off. When an employee's time off starts, the Slack status will automatically update for that employee with the emoji and the status I am on time off and the date they will return to work.
What is the permission hierarchy?
The permission hierarchy in Slack is as follows: Primary Owner > Owner > Admin > Member > Guest. The user that enables the integration must have admin permissions, or higher in the Slack workspace for statuses to be updated. For example, if an admin user enables the Slack integration, then only members and guests will receive status updates. If the primary owner enables it, then all users in the Slack workspace will receive status updates.
