How to set up working time notifications

Configure reminders so employees do not forget to start or end their working hours.

Begin can send push notifications to remind employees to start or end their working hours. This prevents forgotten clock-ins and clock-outs. Notifications can be configured at the company level or per individual employee.

How company-level notifications work

Company-level notification settings apply to all employees unless overridden by employee-specific settings.

  1. Go to Settings (gear icon, bottom-left).

  2. Find the notification settings section.

  3. Set the reminder times by day of the week (e.g., remind to start work at 08:00 on weekdays).

  4. Save your changes.

How employee-level notifications work

You can set different notification times for specific employees:

  1. Go to Employees and open the employee's profile.

  2. Navigate to the Notifications tab.

  3. Set custom reminder times for each day of the week.

  4. Save the changes.

Which settings take priority?

  • If only company-level settings are configured, they apply to all employees.

  • If only employee-level settings are configured, they apply to that specific employee.

  • If both are configured, the employee-level settings take priority for that employee.

Important note

These are local notifications, meaning the phone does not need an internet connection to display them. However, the phone must be connected to the internet at least once after the settings are saved, so the app can sync the notification schedule from the server.
