What are the email notifications for assessments?
Purpose: To show you what email notifications are sent for employee and manager assessments.
Email notifications from BambooHR come from [email protected].
Notification schedule
Managers and employees will receive each of the following notifications to complete the self or employee assessment in BambooHR.
| Days Before Assessment Closure | Colored Clock Reminder |
|---|---|
| 30 days | Green |
| 10 days | Blue |
| 3 days | Orange |
| 1 day | Red |
If you set up your assessment period to begin the same day, the employee notifications will go out 30 minutes after the settings are saved, rather than following the 7 AM company timezone rule.
Email notifications
Review assessment questions
All Full Admin users will receive an email notification ten days before the next review cycle (7 AM in company timezone), allowing them to make any changes to assessment questions before the review cycle begins.
Self assessment
Employees will receive email notifications that remind them to complete their self assessments. The system will send them reminders at 7 AM (company timezone) according to the schedule listed above.
Completion of self assessment
Once an employee completes the self assessment, their manager will receive an automated email notification that includes a link they can click on to log in and complete the manager assessment for the employee.
If the employee's manager has already completed the manager assessment, the email notification will also include the employee's assessment responses.
Completion of manager assessment
Once a manager submits the manager assessment, the employee will receive an automated email notification that includes a link they can click on to log in to BambooHR and view the manager's responses (only if the employee has completed their self assessment).
- If a manager asks an administrator to unlock the manager assessment to make changes, the employee will receive another email notification once the manager resubmits the assessment.
- If the manager schedules to publish the assessment at a future date, the employee will not receive a notification until that date.
Skipped assessment
The employee will receive an email notification if their manager chooses to skip the self and manager assessments within a specific review period.
