Scheduling employee field updates

As an HR Admin, when editing an employee profile, you can make changes to one or more fields and schedule the updates to take effect on a future date rather than immediately.

This is particularly useful when you need to make updates to Grades, Managers, or Salaries and want them to be effective from January 1st.

Scheduling updates

Only HR Admins can schedule updates for employees. 

1. Edit the employee profile (from the Actions menu)
2. Update one or more fields
3. Click the spit button and select the option to Schedule updates
   
   
4. Select the date you wish to apply the changes in the employee profile
5. Click Schedule to confirm the action
   

Viewing scheduled changes

Scheduled updates will be displayed by clicking  'Updates > Scheduled updates' on the employee profile. If a field is encrypted, you can view scheduled updates after unmasking the field values (from the 'Show values' option). 

When viewing or editing an employee profile against the fields with scheduled updates, there will be an indicator to inform you that there is a scheduled update on this field. 

For fields that have been set to keep history, scheduled updates will also be visible under the History modal of the field that is scheduled to be updated.

Managing scheduled changes

HR Admins can edit or cancel scheduled changes from the three dots menu of each schedule update under the Updates side panel. 

Edit

You can only change the schedule date and not the value. Once the edit is complete, the updated schedule date will be displayed in the Updates sidebar. 

Cancel

You can cancel an individual schedule update from the three dots menu or cancel all updates (if there are multiple scheduled updates for an employee) from the button at the bottom of the side panel.

FAQs

What time will the scheduled updates be published?

Scheduled updates for an employee profile will take effect on the date you set at 12.00AM in the employee's local time, according to their time zone.
