Control What Employees can View & Do

Control what Employees can View & Do

The SETTINGS>Employee Permissions page controls what Employees can see and do at WhenToWork when they sign into their individual Employee account.

When Employees sign in they see a different interface and can only view Published schedules. To see an example of the Employee view you can log in live to see a sample Employee account (http://WhenToWork.com/testdrive.htm) which has most WhenToWork features turned on.

After publishing your first schedule you also can sign in as an employee in your account to see exactly what your employees will see when they sign in.

Standard things employees can do when they sign in:

View published schedules and schedule notes

Download VCAL file of their schedule to use in Outlook on their computer or PDA

Make changes to their own contact information

Set up their email and text message addresses, which events trigger notifications to them and which if any address can be used as a "reply to" address when messages are forwarded to managers or other employees

Change their ID and Password

Set whether other employees can view their phone number and e-mail

View the Manager Notice to Employees on the Employee Home Page

View your Company Bulletin Board

Message managers and other Employees

If you allow them Employees also can:

Use your SETTINGS>Employee Permissions page to set what Employees are allowed to see and do when they sign in.

Controlling the employee display of Everyone's Schedule

If you allow employees to see Everyone's Schedule you also can control how each of those views appear using the "Change Layout" link on the account main manager corresponding Schedule View.

If you upload a company logo from your SETTINGS page the employees will see your company logo on all of their pages and printouts.
