Qualification#

🔒 Qualification.Show

Overview#

A Qualification represents a particular skill which may have been acquired by an Employee by training, formal education or other reason. It can be assigned to multiple Employees with different proficiency levels. Once an Employee meets all the Qualifications required by a particular Certification, he will be granted automatically that Certification.

Info

An Employee may have the same Qualification assigned more than one time. The system considers the most recent one as the effective one.

The owner role of the Qualification can always assign Employees to it. In addition, it is possible to configure the Qualification so that:

  • the Qualification can be assigned by the manager (supervisor) of the Employee
  • the Qualification can be assigned by the Employee himself/herself

A Qualification maybe permanent or it can be set to expire after some time. It is also possible to define a grace period after expiration that will allow the Employee some time to re-acquire the Qualification. This life cycle is illustrated in the next picture.
