Example

Work anniversary notification

Automatically send an email to the HR team when an employee reaches their work anniversary.

Birthday reminder

Negative holiday entitlement alert

Notify HR when an employee's holiday entitlement goes negative.

You can view this short webinar video which demonstrates batch job functionality and guides you through creating your own.

Due to the complexities involved, support guidance beyond our basic guidance is not available, as batch jobs require a solid understanding of the system, which is best gained through training.

If needed, our consultancy team can develop a bespoke batch job for you. We also offer training on batch job functionality, should you prefer a hands-on approach.

These services may incur a cost. If you’d like to discuss pricing for training or implementation, please contact your account manager.
