Jobs in Time & Attendance

Jobs serve as periodically running helper programs for the synchronization and processing of data. A basic introduction to job management can be found in the chapter Portal & Organization - System / Job Management.

They can be used in many ways and enable, for example, the creation of groups based on defined criteria and the sending of various system notifications in the event of special events in Time & Attendance.
Furthermore, certain jobs can be used to filter defined irregularities in the Time & Attendance system, upon which certain requests are automatically generated and forwarded to employees for processing.
