# Tasks

> Personal and assigned to-dos, plus the automatic tasks Bolto creates so payroll and compliance deadlines never slip.

**Team → Tasks** is a shared to-do list for your company — part task manager, part safety net. You and your team create and assign tasks, and Bolto adds its own system tasks for anything time-sensitive: payroll approvals, blocked employees, I-9 deadlines, tax registrations.

Everyone has a Tasks page — admins under Team, employees and contractors in their own portals.

## Working with tasks

Tasks are organized into **Today**, **This week** (a drag-and-drop day board), **All Tasks**, and **Completed**, with sorting and an assignee filter.

Creating a task takes a title, an optional description, a due date, and assignees:

* Anyone can create tasks **for themselves**
* **Owners and Contractor Managers** can assign tasks to others — including multiple assignees at once, where each person completes their own copy
* Assignees are notified by email on assignment, reassignment, and edits

## System tasks

Bolto creates tasks automatically when something needs a human, assigns them to the right people, and **completes them automatically** when the underlying work is done. Examples:

| Trigger                             | Task                                             | Who gets it  |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ------------ |
| Payroll draft awaiting approval     | "Approve payroll for \[group]"                   | Owners       |
| Employee blocking payroll           | "\[Name] requires action — blocking payroll"     | Managers     |
| Employee hasn't finished onboarding | "\[Name] has not completed onboarding"           | Managers     |
| I-9 Section 1 due                   | "Complete your I-9 verification"                 | The employee |
| I-9 Section 2 due                   | "Review and sign Section 2 of \[name]'s I-9"     | Owners       |
| State tax setup outstanding         | "Complete tax setup for \[state]" (and variants) | Owners       |
| Time-off request pending            | Review task                                      | Approvers    |

Each system task deep-links to the exact page where the work happens, and carries the real deadline (payroll approval cutoffs, the I-9 3-business-day window). System tasks can't be edited — they clear themselves when the underlying item is resolved.
