Yumee Work tells people about the things they would otherwise have to ask a manager about.
What triggers a notification
- A task is assigned to them — with the job name and due date.
- A task is overdue — one summary a day, not one per task.
- The rota is published — how many shifts they have that week and when the first one starts.
- A colleague offers them a shift swap, and the answer when they have offered one.
- A manager approves or declines a swap, give-away or open-shift claim.
- A time-off request is approved or declined — with the manager's note.
Every one of these arrives in the app's own Notifications list (the bell in the top bar), whether or not the phone allows pop-up notifications. Where an email address is on file, the existing emails still go out as well, so nobody misses a decision because of a phone setting.
Turning on push notifications
In the app: Me → Push notifications → on. The phone then asks for permission; if someone declines, they can allow it again in the phone's settings for Yumee Work.
On an iPhone, add Yumee Work to the Home Screen first (Share → Add to Home Screen) and open it from that icon — Apple only allows notifications for apps added this way. Android and desktop browsers work straight away.
Notifications follow the language chosen in the app, so a Polish-speaking colleague gets Polish notifications on the same rota publish that sends English to everyone else.
What managers can see
On the employee profile, under Yumee Work app, you can see when the person last signed in and whether push is on for their phone. If it is off, they can turn it on themselves — you cannot turn it on for them, which is how phone notification permissions work everywhere.
Turning them off
The same toggle switches them off, and signing out of the app stops notifications to that phone. Revoking app access removes them immediately.
