Employee ESS Date Notifications

You can define a event on the self-service calendar.

The Employee ESS Date Notification is used to define events per employee.

Roles for management, Payroll, and HR need to select the employee from the upper navigation bar on the main screen first and need to be able to select themselves in order to add reminders for themselves. The Employee ESS Date Notifications Detail is exempt from self-edit restrictions.

To add, modify, or delete events, click on "My Reminders" on the reminders panel or "My Calendar Events" under the calendar on the home page to open the "Employee ESS Date Notification" screen.
