  4. Hide a birthday or an anniversary

    HR and the Company Head click Privacy settings, or Privacy on a row, and pick the person. Switch on Hide birthday or Hide work anniversary and click Save.

What it does

Celebrations has two tabs. This month lists the month's birthdays, work anniversaries with the number of years, new joiners and confirmations, as a list or a calendar, and lets everyone send a wish. Praise lets colleagues thank each other with a badge, such as Team player or Problem solver, and shows the month's leaderboard. The year of birth is never shown.

Who uses it

  • Everyone in an HRMS Core or Hybrid company sees the month, sends wishes and gives praise.
  • HR and the Company Head can also hide a person's birthday or work anniversary. Each person can hide their own birthday.

How it connects

Every morning the Company Wall gets a post for the day's birthdays, work anniversaries and new joiners, and wishes are added to it as comments. Praise is posted on the wall too, and managers can also give praise from My Team. Birthdays come from the date of birth and anniversaries from the joining date on each employee's record, and confirmations from Probation & Confirmation. Whether birthdays show by default is set in Settings, Policies, Company wall and praise.

Questions

Is the year of birth ever shown?

No. Celebrations show the day and month only, even when the birthday is visible.

Why is someone's birthday missing?

Their date of birth is not on their employee record, or their birthday is hidden. Add the date of birth in Employees, or check their privacy settings.

Can I praise myself?

No. Praise is always for a colleague.
