When you select X days after hire date, the deadline is calculated from each employee’s hire date. For employees hired earlier, the deadline may already have passed, so the assignment may appear overdue immediately.

Notify assignees

If assigning the training now, select Notify assignees to send employees a notification with the due date and a link to the training.
