Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
- A new employee never receives the first Wurk onboarding email. - The manager believes the user record exists, but the employee cannot begin setup. - Scheduling or payroll preparation is waiting on the onboarding email.
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
- The account-created notification is disabled or misconfigured. - The wrong work or personal email was used on the employee profile. - The message landed in spam or was blocked by mail filtering.
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
Document whether the issue affects one user, multiple users, or multiple devices. Confirm exact error messages, recent changes (password reset, update, network change), and whether the same issue reproduces in web vs desktop workflows where applicable.
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
Confirm the user is signed in with the correct corporate account, system time is accurate, network/VPN connectivity is stable, and the application is not running in offline or limited mode.
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
Use the command snippets below to collect non-destructive diagnostics. Capture output in the ticket when escalation may be required. Avoid deleting profiles, cached credentials, or managed app data unless the runbook or admin approval explicitly allows it.
Recommended validation or troubleshooting step
- Check the employee profile and confirm the correct email address is stored in the right field for the notification flow. - Review the Wurk notification settings and make sure the account-created email is active. - Resend the onboarding email from the employee record after correcting the contact information. - Ask the user to check junk and quarantine paths before creating a second employee profile.
Review carefully before proceeding
- Multiple new hires are affected. - Shift start, orientation, or payroll setup is blocked for the day. - Notification settings appear broken at the admin level.
