While you can track the tasks pending on you and finish them, there might be tasks pending on your employees' side, like verifying the account, reporting the expenses, and adding a bank account for which you need to remind them at regular intervals.
From the Tasks Dashboard on Fyle, you can send reminders to your employees on the pending tasks on them.
Here are the various types of reminders you can see in this section based on your account configuration:
Unverified employees: Employees onboarded to Fyle but have not verified on Fyle. You can send reminders to verify and start reporting the expenses.
Employees who didn't add a bank account: As you need to process reimbursements for the expenses incurred by employees, Employees need to add their bank account on Fyle to get the reimbursements.
Incomplete expenses: If the employees don't fill the mandatory fields on the expenses or don't attach receipts, the expenses remain incomplete. The employees can't report those expenses unless they are complete.
Unreported expenses: After the expenses are duly filled, the employees must submit the expense reports for approval. This reminder helps your employees add the expenses to the expense reports and submit them for approval.
Unapproved expense reports: After your employees submit the expense reports, it's on the Approver to Approve/Send back the expense report. This reminder helps the approvers to finish their task of approving expense reports.
Unverified Expense Reports: Reminder for your verifiers who haven't verified the expense reports pending on them.
You need to enable Mandatory Verification and have a Verifier in your organization to send this reminder.Pending Reimbursements: Reminder for your payment processors to process the pending payments to your employees.
