What it does

This workflow runs a weekly check on your HR data warehouse and surfaces employees who are accruing time off faster than they take it. It groups the at-risk people under their direct manager and sends each manager a private Slack nudge so the conversation happens before someone burns out or loses unused days at year-end.

When to use it

Run this when you have PTO accrual and usage data landing in BigQuery and want managers to act on under-utilized leave proactively, rather than discovering balance problems during an annual review or a use-it-or-lose-it deadline.

How it works

  1. 1A Monday morning schedule fires the workflow.
  2. 2A BigQuery query pulls each employee's accrued balance, days used in the trailing 90 days, and their manager ID.
  3. 3A logic step flags anyone whose unused balance exceeds the configured threshold AND who took zero leave in the window, then groups the flagged rows by manager.
  4. 4For each manager with at least one flagged report, the workflow composes a concise summary with names, balances, and a recommended check-in.
  5. 5A Slack direct message delivers that per-manager summary, so each manager only sees their own team.
