How do you call a (daily) sidekiq scheduled worker without calling the worker?

Question

Something simple, I'm sure but I've been searching and can't find an answer.

in brief: I want to set up a daily mailer to email a lists of tasks daily.

I have a worker (scheduled every minute, and only puts'ing for dev):

class DailyReminderWorker

    include Sidekiq::Worker
    include Sidetiq::Schedulable

    recurrence do
        hourly.minute_of_hour(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59)
    end

    def perform

        User.find_each do |user|
            @user = user.name
            puts "user name is #{@user}"
            @reminder = Remindarrr.where(user_id: user.id)

            @reminder.each do |r|
                puts r.title
            end

        end
    end 

end

I know I can call this with the following in a controller:

DailyReminderWorker.perform_async 

This works and outputs every minute but every time the page refreshes it also fires. (less useful for a daily mailer.)

How do you call the worker to queue the job without it firing immediately? Where would you put the perform.async?

Thanks a lot!

If you are on a Linux platform, just use cron. very easy to setup.
