BambooHR email notifications originate from [email protected].

Timesheet Due Soon

Employees receive an email notification at 8 AM (in their timezone) on the last day of a pay period, reminding them that their timesheet will be sent for approval soon. They can click Go to My Timesheet to confirm their hours.

The following exceptions alter the timing of this email notification to employees: 

  • If the last day of the pay period falls on a weekend, the email sends on the preceding Friday.
  • This email notification always sends 24 hours before the approvals email. If the due date is the day after the pay period ends or sooner, this email notification is sent earlier to allow a 24-hour buffer before the approvals email is sent.

Hours Ready for Approval

All designated approvers receive an email notification requesting that they approve the hours worked for their employees. This email notification is sent once all designated employees' hours become approvable. They can click Review in BambooHR to go to their inbox to approve the hours.
