Holiday and leave reminders

Cadre reminds people about public holidays and their leave, tells managers who is off, and nudges requests that are waiting. You choose which reminders go and the time of day. Each person’s own notification choices still decide whether they get them in the app, by push or by email.

Who can set holiday and leave reminders: Owner, HR admin.

These settings are for the whole organisation, so at an agency only members who look after every client can change them.

Change the reminders

Section titled “Change the reminders”

  1. Open Settings → Holiday and leave reminders.

  2. Switch each reminder on or off.

  3. Choose the Time of day, in Lagos time. Holiday reminders and the reminder before someone’s leave go at this time.

  4. Click Save. To go back to how it was, click Undo changes.

Until you save, Cadre uses its starting values. They are a starting point, not a rule.

Public holidays

Section titled “Public holidays”

To everyone the holiday applies to:

  • The day before, at the time you chose. It goes on the last working day before the holiday, so a Monday holiday is reminded on the Friday, and two holidays close together are reminded together. There is no reminder for a holiday on a Saturday or Sunday.
  • A week before, useful before long weekends.
  • When a holiday is added, moved or removed. With this on, Tell them now starts on when you add or change a holiday. Nobody is told about a date that has already passed.

Leave

Section titled “Leave”
  • The person: the day before their leave starts. On the last working day before approved leave starts, with the day they are back.
  • Managers: who is off tomorrow. At 17:00 on a working day, a manager hears who in their team is on approved leave the next working day. Nothing is sent when nobody is off.
  • Managers: a request waiting 3 working days. Whoever decides the request is nudged once. After 5 working days, HR is told.
  • The person: leave about to lapse. 30 days before carried-over days lapse, the person hears how many are left. This is off until you switch it on.

What people see

Section titled “What people see”

The page shows an example of each: the notification in the app, and the email. For example:

Tomorrow is Independence Day

Thursday 1 October is a public holiday, so you’re not expected at work. It isn’t taken from your leave. Your next working day is Friday 2 October.

Each reminder is sent once, however often Cadre checks.
