Recipe Overview

Keeping track of where employees are and how they’re working is becoming increasingly challenging as companies start moving towards a remote or hybrid style of work.

That poses a dilemma for IT Security teams, who now have little control or oversight on the devices that an employee is using to access their company’s systems, now that they’re home and within easy access of their personal, unsecured devices. And for managers as well, who want to give their employees the freedom to work flexibly, but want to ensure that they’re working as they should be.

With this Recipe, you’ll be able to have some insight into your employees' device activity. When an employee’s work device has not pinged in 3 days, and they aren’t on scheduled leave, Rippling will automatically send a notification to their manager, alerting them to the unusual behavior.

3 days not long enough? As with all our workflow Recipes, you can customize this template to your exact needs, including when it should trigger, what the actions should be, who it should go to, and more.
