Warning: Email provided by Employee does not match with Master data Email.

​

This message can occur after reviewing an employee request and submitting the results of the review to the system. It's telling you that the email address entered in the request form (where emails pertaining to this request will be sent) does not match the email stored in the employee's data record.

 

That may be precisely what the employee desires. For example, the employee may typically get their messages at a company email address, but when filing in a Leave of Absence request, they may want to see them at their home address.

​

In that scenario, it makes sense to compare the two email addresses. If they are very different, It is most likely that the new address was intended. But if they differ by only a character or two, it is quite possible that one of the email addresses has a typo. In that case, it makes sense to check the history of communications with the employee, to see if the address has been used before or, ideally, confirm the new address with the employee.
