Most states across the US require employees to complete various mandatory courses for training or compliance. If an employee fails to complete them within the mandated timeline, the company may be liable to significant fines for non-compliance.

But regardless of how important – or legally required – a course may be, it’s easy for deadlines to get lost in the midst of an employee’s busy day. And hard for HR teams to do more than friendly reminders over email, Slack or company meetings.

With this Recipe, you can get creative with your enrolment reminders. When an employee hasn’t enrolled in a course, and the deadline for that enrolment is near, Rippling will create an all-day Google Calendar event automatically as a reminder and placeholder for the employee to enrol.

Want to change the event to an hour instead? As with all of our workflow Recipes, you can customise this template to your exact needs, including when it should trigger, what the actions should be, who it should go to and more.
