The Email Notification Settings feature provides you with three areas to configure. These are alerts, tasks, and reminders. The first two areas, alerts and tasks, are all notifications to the employee, i.e., the employee gets notified when their timesheets receive approval, when they receive a pay slip, and so on. With reminders, you can choose the user group that will receive these notifications and also at what time this notification will go out from Employment Hero.

Warning

The settings enabled by a user within the Notifications Settings feature overrides the settings enabled by an admin within the Email Notification Settings feature.
