Calendar

Calendar information will only be visible to your employees if their access allows them to see the Who's Out widget in your BambooHR account. You can find instructions on how to adjust employee access to this by clicking here.

To access the calendar, tap Calendar on Home.

For Managers: On the day before and day of a celebration (employee anniversary or birthday), a widget* on Home will announce the big day for your employee. This widget could display one event or multiple events for one or more employees who report to you. If there is only one employee celebration, you can click on the widget to go to the employee's profile. If there are multiple employee celebrations, you can click on the widget to go to Celebrations in the calendar (see below).

Additionally, you will receive a push notification on the employee's celebration date at 9 AM (in the company's time zone) to remind you to celebrate.

*To see this widget, access to the Celebrations widget on Home must be granted via Access Level Settings
