Caregiver Running Late Notification for Agency

Currently, If a caregiver does not Clock-In at the end of threshold period, system sends out the missed clock-in notification to agency user(s) and caregiver based on the configurations on the main tab in the office settings. Now, agencies which allow a larger threshold period for their caregivers to clock-in, do not have to wait for the threshold period to end to get the notification that caregiver did not clock-in. Agencies can now configure their office settings with running late notification which will be sent out to the selected agency users when the system does not detect the clock-in after the specific amount of time after schedule start time. E.g. Lets assume thresholds are set to 30 Mins and schedule time is 9 AM – 12 PM. Now, as per the current flow, if the caregiver does not clock-in then system will initiate the missed clock-in email/sms at 9:30 AM. But now, agencies can opt for running late notification, where they can enter in the number of mins after the schedule start time, if the clock-in is not detected, system will notify the agency. Assume this setting is set to 5 Mins. Then, at 9:05 AM, if the clock-in is not detected, then system will send the email to agency user(s)/sms that caregiver is running late.
