Empeon June 2021 Release Notes

Alert options have been added to allow for notification of employees with Missing or Expired Records.

This feature allows users to set an alert triggering a list of employees that have missing or expired medical records, licenses, or certifications.

Clients would set up the alert to email specific managers when the certification for employees that require a certification is missing or expired (ex: Vaccines for all employees, TB Tests for Healthcare workers, Driver’s Licenses for drivers…) Customizable settings for any record type would include who will receive the report, how often, and about which category of employees.

Find this Alert under Company > Rules & Alerts > Alert Me > Missing Employee records

Based on client feedback, a new tag feature has been implemented allowing tags to be added to an employee’s profile on the fly. This can be used to quickly tag multiple employees within a category and then filter employee lists and reports by those tags.

This new import feature allows for flexible configuration of an employee import file. This can be used for import of new hires or bulk updates to existing employees. Clients would utilize this to map existing files to import to fields in Empeon. In addition to new hire imports, bulk updates can be used for items like rate of pay or any employee info fields.

Import customization can be found under Company > Customize > Employee Import
