Overtime Alerts

Gain efficiency for your team by taking advantage of uAttend’s Overtime alerts feature, set yourself, or your supervisors up to receive these handy alerts via email or text that will inform you of approaching overtime or overtime met.

Notes:

• This is a department-level feature and so will apply to any employee configured with it as their home department, regardless of any department transfers performed during a shift.
• Supervisors can be configured with permissions to view and/or edit departments.  Their responsibility can also be limited to certain departments.
• Additional fees apply for the use of uText notifications.
• The email addresses/phone numbers used must be unique.
