Tips
-
Start with the most important prompts (e.g. Late Start for employees, Manager Report for admins) and add more as needed.
-
Set reasonable thresholds — a 5-minute late start threshold avoids false alerts for minor delays.
-
Use Leave Application Emails so managers never miss a time-off request.
