I am assuming once green card is received, it automatically supersedes the H-1B visa similar to how an H-1B visa would supersede and F-1 visa. Is there any way my employer can get notified automatically or would I have to let them know? 

N-400:

12/27/2023 - Received receipt notice and biometric reuse notice. Estimated processing time: 6 months

12/27/2023 - Submitted N-400 online

 

I-751:

January 2023 - Submitted I-751 via mail

3/16/2021 - Approved
3/15/2021 - New card ordered
3/9/2021 - Interview completed and your case must be reviewed. We will mail you a notice if we make a decision or take further action. (I had to go in with some updated and signed medical form as something was missing in the initially submitted form and they gave me an appointment for the following week)
1/22/2021 - Scheduled interview
1/19/2021 - Ready to schedule for interview

It depends a bit on when your H1-B expires. i.e. you will need at least an EAD to continue working without a break if your H1-B expires before you receive the green card. I would notify them unless you have any reason not to.

For sure notify them after you get the final green card. 

 

After you receive your EAD and AP, if you want to use your EAD as the document validating your work status, then you should notify your employer about that as well. If you plan to not use the EAD, then there is no reason to notify them at that point.
