Employee Reminder Types

Overview

Employee Reminder Types can be used to track all expiry dates for employees that fall outside of Medicals or Training such as annual reviews or spot checks. When a reminder is close to its due date Gearbox will update the Employee Traffic light and Employee Dashboard to notify you of the change in reminder status. The warning interval (number of days) prior to a warning turning yellow and red is a setting in Gearbox that affects vehicle reminders, contractor reminders  AND employee reminders may be adjusted to suit your business.

If “Settings” is not visible in your menu, contact your system administrator to request access.
