Direct Employee Messaging
There should be a way for an Admin to directly message the phone of all (or certain) employees through ClockShark.

Hi Chris!
Depending on what information needs to be communicated to employees (schedule changes, upcoming job start time), there may already be a notification available in ClockShark. Feel free to check out http://help.clockshark.com/knowledgebase/articles/1133746-using-notifications to see how those notifications suit your needs. :)
Regarding the ability to craft particular messages and send them directly through the app, this is a request that we are hearing more-and-more. I’m sharing this with our development team, and we’ll continue to monitor the votes here for this idea, so we can know when we should add that for you.
If you have any other ideas or suggestions, you can let me know at cliff@clockshark.com. I love to hear how we can improve ClockShark for you.

I would like a way to send custom messages. I'm having a lot of people clocking in away from the job sites. Being able to send a custom message to the trouble makers as a system alert would be fantastic.

This could broadcast news and directives on a company-wide basis or to specific individuals or department. (This goes beyond leaving a comment on a job) This would be helpful for companies who have many people out working in the field... updates on a storm, etc.

On another app that we used you were able to send notes a group of employees that you select (each time). This is outside of the specific job. Kind of like an on-going email chat. You were also able to notify when a note was added.
For example: If I wanted the employees to know to leave early because it was snowing. I could just type it into the chat and send to all of them.

I would like to be able to send a text or a message to an employee through the app. A lot of times i do not have the employees number but i need to communicate with them.

Sometimes you need to ask another employee something but don't have their number. I use group text but we have a high turn over rate so im always having to make a new group.

I have mentioned this before but was seeing if there was an update of sorts. I manually moved time from clock shark to our accounting system since the two do not talk to each other. I spend hours each week doing so. With employees forgetting to clock in, coding incorrectly, not clocking in, etc I spend an insane amount of time trying to get with the employee to fix that day so I have correct hours. A messaging system in the app that notifies the employee they have time errors would be helpful. Email and text is another solution that I currently use but if they do not see that they can get a reminder when they go to clock in or out that they have pending messages or corrections that need attention.

If something has changed about a job they are currently on or a delivery driver cannot find the job. Someone at the office can send a message through the app for the employee to see.

Ability to enter a text message that would be viewable by 1 or more employees in the app.

Yes! We definitely need this feature! Im honestly not sure why it wasnt a common sense build in initially !!

For additional last minute job info or scheduling.. it would be nice to be able to send messages out to one or more employees through ClockShark instead of texting everyone involved : )

Yes! I like to send out reminders to approve timesheets amongst timeclock remingers and it would be great if my employees could receive the reminder via email or text notification vs having to message every single employee.

Shows up on employee phone like a text then when they answer back it goes right onto job note
Ex:
hey john did you hang 2 ceiling fans because I only see stock for 1 ceiling fan? -

Was just looking for a way to send out a recurring message to certain employees for reminders and things like that. Our company could definitely benefit from having a messaging system implemented also!

The ability for an administrator to leave an employee a message which pops up on their phone the next time they use the app.

I agree. This wold be a great feature for weather dependant jobs like construction. We have had rain for 6 days and the employees show up only to be told to go home because of weather and there is not enough inside work for everyone. Sending a message to all would be great and they could go back to sleep

It would be great to add a feature, that would enable admin to send out general mass messages to employees, via email and push notifications, with options to send individually or company wide.Much like the current scheduling feature that notifies employees.

Be able to message an employee on the app instead of posting notes and/or file attachments.

A feature where we can send specific notifications to the employees through the app (i.e. "Notes are required for any overtime spent"). So we don't have to use other means like calls or texts, and that there remains a record of the communication.

When I finish writing the schedule and I select Notify Employees I always select to notify them by both email and text. It would be great if I could add a general message to them all.
For Example: Dont forget its Jersey Day Monday!
Example: Its calling for bad weather this week make sure you dress for it!
