How do certification expiration alerts work?
Muin automatically notifies employees and managers about expiring certifications: **Default notification schedule:** | Days Before | Recipients | |-------------|------------| | 30 days | Employee | | 14 days | Employee + Manager | | 7 days | Employee + Manager + HR | | 0 days (expired) | Employee + Manager + HR | **What's included in alerts:** - Employee name and certification type - Current expiration date - Days remaining until expiry - Link to upload renewed certification - Instructions for renewal **Manager escalation:** When certifications are 7 days from expiry, managers receive an escalation email listing all team members needing attention. **No duplicate notifications:** Each notification window sends only once per certification. You won't receive duplicate emails for the same expiration. **Customizing alerts:** Go to **Settings > HR > Certification Alerts** to: - Change notification windows (days before expiry) - Customize recipients for each window - Enable/disable specific alert types
