Qualifications - Allocate to Employee

Adding a Qualification

To add an employee qualification, navigate to the employee's file and select 'Qualifications' from the left menu. You will then be directed to the 'Qualifications' screen.

You will notice that all the qualifications set up in your Payroll Settings appear in this screen. If they are unticked, this mean the employee does not have the qualification.

To activate a qualification for an employee, click on the checkbox to the left of the relevant qualification name. This will open up the settings for that qualification, as follows:

Then complete the following settings:

1. Expires: If the qualification has an expiry date, click on the dropdown list and select "On". An additional field will appear where you can enter the expiry date. If the qualification does not expire, then leave the value as "Never". 
2. Reference Number: Some qualifications include a certification and/or reference number that should be recorded and so this is the field where you would enter that reference.
3. Documents: You can attach any relevant documentation pertaining to the qualification for record keeping, for eg the certification document or the visa paperwork, etc. You can upload multiple documents for the one qualification. To add a qualification, click on the green "+" icon. When the popup box appears, click on "Select file", select the document from your drive and then click on "Confirm upload?". You can only upload one document at a time so if you need to attach multiple documents, repeat the upload process. To delete a document you had added, click on the red bin icon located to the right of the document.
4. Then click on 'Save'.   

Removing a Qualification

If you need to deactivate/remove a qualification from an employee, simply select the checkbox to the left of the relevant qualification and click on "Save".
