Online Employee Scheduling


Text Messages Sent to Employee Cell Phone or PDA
 
If a user has a cell phone and special service that allows receipt of text messages they can sign in at WhenToWork.com and set up when to be notified by text message. Employees log in and set up their own text message address and choice of notifications. Managers can review their notifications options from the Edit Employee page.

To send a text message you need to know the person's "text message address" which is usually their cell phone digits @ the cell carrier's domain address. Ex. 5555555555@vtext.com (Verizon). You will need to ask each Employee to enter their own text address or have them find out from their carrier what their address would be. 

When a text message address is added a special verification PIN is sent to that address.  The recipient must then sign into their WhenToWork account and enter the verification code in order to confirm that the address is correct. Once this has been done the notifications will then be sent out automatically from that time forward. Employees can enter their verification PIN on the INFO>Edit My Email Notifications page. 

We do not charge to send, but the recipient may be charged to receive text messages - note that some of the notification options could generate a large volume of text messages - so choose carefully and be sure to check the carrier's charges and limitations before setting up.
