What are the email notifications for Time Tracking?

Purpose: BambooHR Time Tracking automatically sends specific emails to your employees and your hours-worked approvers. This guide will show you an example of each email notification that sends for the time tracking feature.

Email notifications from BambooHR come from [email protected].

Timesheet Due Soon

An employee receives an email notification at 8 AM (employee's timezone) on the last day of a pay period that reminds them that their timesheet will send for approval soon. The employee can click Go to My Timesheet to confirm their hours.

The following exceptions change the time when this email sends to employees: 

  • If the last day of the pay period lands on a weekend day, the email will send on the Friday before the weekend.
  • This email notification always sends 24 hours before the approvals email sends. If the pay date is the day after the pay period ends or sooner, this email notification will push up to allow a 24-hour buffer before the approvals email sends.

Hours Ready for Approval

All designated approvers receive an email notification that asks them to approve hours worked for their employees. This email notification sends once all designated employees' hours become approvable. They can click Review in BambooHR to go to their inbox to approve hours.
