Modern software should do the repetitive work for you, but it must say what it does on its own. This page lists what Rifena performs automatically, when, and on which data, so you can trust it and still stay in control.
Rifena performs some transitions when their conditions are clear. “Automatic” does not mean Rifena makes a responsible person’s decision, transfers money, or submits a file to an external authority.
Swipe horizontally to see the condition, result, and check still required.
State-driven transitions
| When this condition occurs | Rifena does this | A person still checks |
|---|---|---|
| Every required payment order for a payroll run is confirmed complete | The run becomes Paid | Order totals, exceptions, and correct payslip recipients |
| An approved HR event reaches its effective date | The event’s change applies to the profile | Profile, organisation, access, approvers, and related configuration |
| An offboarding employee passes the last working day and meets lifecycle conditions | Rifena creates the completion step and the profile becomes No longer employed | The checklist, final payroll, and access revocation genuinely completed |
| Pending leave or overtime is withdrawn or cancelled | The request becomes Cancelled | Reserved balance or pending period data updated correctly |
| A tax-exemption request meets the organisation’s automatic-approval configuration | The request may move directly to Approved | Exemption type, evidence, and Approved amount match the basis |
| An active code-generation rule applies to the form | A business code is created under the rule | Correct code type, format, and uniqueness |
Notifications and reminders
Rifena may notify users when a record needs a decision, reaches a result, or approaches a meaningful milestone. Common groups include:
- requests and approvals;
- contracts, probation, and employee lifecycle;
- payroll runs and payments;
- insurance, reports, and due dates; and
- KPI and training.
Delivery depends on Account → Notifications, browser or device permission, and organisation configuration. Do not treat a fixed execution time in a guide as a promise that every organisation receives the same reminder at that time.
What does not happen automatically
| You just did this | Do not infer this result |
|---|---|
| Added someone to a group | Primary department, roles, and approval workflows all changed |
| Applied an HR event | KPI, access, and payroll configuration now match completely |
| Marked an onboarding or offboarding checklist item complete | Assets, external accounts, or final payroll were handled in reality |
| Corrected a source after creating a payroll run | The existing run recalculated itself |
| Approved an advance or expense claim | Money was transferred to the recipient |
| Saved the insurance ledger or selected Mark as paid | Insurance money was remitted without the company making the payment |
| Generated or downloaded a statutory report | The report is complete, signed, or submitted |
| Recorded a report as Submitted | The portal accepted or rejected it; a user must still verify and record the matching outcome |
| Saved SSO provider details | The provider is Active and Enforce SSO is safe to turn on |
When an expected automation did not occur
- Confirm that the source condition is met and the state is saved.
- Check the effective date, last working day, or every related order.
- Check notification preferences when only the reminder is missing.
- Refresh once and read history or the timeline.
- If the result remains wrong, choose the symptom under Support and state which condition you believe is met.
