What’s Changing?

A new setting is being added within the HR module which will enable push notifications within the Employee Self Service App to advise employees when holidays have been authorised or declined.

Proposed Release Date: 10^th September 2020 

Reason for Change

When employees request a holiday via the Employee Self Service App, they can receive a notification to let them know whether the holiday has been authorised or declined.  This function will be available, only when enabled by Fourth.  The new setting will allow customers to manage the notification set-up themselves.

Customers Affected

All Employee Self Service users with My Holidays enabled.

Release Notes

A new global setting has been added within the HR module which allows users to enable employee notifications. These notifications will let employees know whether holidays requested via the My Holidays app within ESS have been approved or declined.
