HR: Compliance Tracker By Employee

Overview

The Compliance Tracker By Employee window is accessed from the Human Resources Menu and the Employee Master File.

The Compliance Tracker by Employee screen can be used to display the Compliance Codes required or completed for the selected employee. Items listed may be marked as completed.

If an employee has at least one License Code, then the License tab is the default tab. Otherwise, the Compliance Code tab is the default tab.

The Compliance Codes tab displays the existing Done / Not Done information.

Compliance Codes that are marked as 'Mandatory" and use the Life Cycle Start Date when Due Immediately will display as Not Done in the Compliance Tracker By Employee screen.

The License / Expiration Codes tab displays requirements based on 'License / Expiration Date'. License / Expiration Codes are generally not "Completed", but are updated to reflect a new expiration date. Updating the Expiration Date does not create a new "Completed" record.

Compliance Codes that are of type 'License / Expiration Date' do not show in the Completed grid, these will only show on the License Tab. However, they will show in the Not Done grid, but are Read-Only.

To quickly enter Compliance information for multiple employees, click the Compliance Quick Entry tab.

License Stages Summary

License Stage Notes
Pending Initial

The employee has applied for the license and the employer is willing to allow the employee to work during the approval process (even though the license has not been officially issued). A Date Applied must be entered to determine when the re-approved period begins. The Pending Date is automatically set based on the Max Pending Days Allowed setting on the Compliance Tracking Codes window.

The Pending Initial license stage can only be used when the Allow Use While Pending Agency Approval check box is selected for the compliance code on the Compliance Tracking Codes window.

When the Allow Use While Pending Agency Approval check box is selected for the compliance code on the Compliance Tracking Codes window:

  • The system calculates the Pending Date automatically using the value from the Max Pending Days Allowed field and the Date Applied. The Pending Date can be manually updated to any date less than the maximum period. A warning message displays if an entry exceeds the maximum pending days allowed.
  • The Expiration Date, Extension Date, and Date Revoked field are blank and not available.
Issued

The license has been issued to the employee and it has a known Expiration Date.

A license stage must be manually set to Issued and an Expiration Date must be manually entered. The Expiration Date must be later than today's date. When the license stage is set to Issued, the system automatically clears the Pending Date field.

Expired The license is no longer valid.
In Renewal

The license has expired and is up for renewal. The employer is willing to allow the employee to work for a set amount of time during the renewal process.

The In Renewal license stage can only be used when the License Extensions option has been updated from the default and is not set to Not Allowed for the compliance code on the Compliance Tracking Codes window.

Select this license stage after there is confirmation the renewal process has been initiated. Depending on the timing of the notification, the stage is moved from either the Issued or Expired license stage.

Both the Date Applied and the Extension Date are required fields for this stage.

Revoked

This stage applies when the license has been repealed by the issuing agency and the employee does not qualify to work jobs requiring this compliance code.

The Revoked license stage cannot be used if the Allow Revoked check box is not selected for the compliance code on the Compliance Tracking Codes window.

When the Allow Revoked check box is selected for the compliance code on the Compliance Tracking Codes window the Date Revoked is a required field.

When the license stage is changed from Revoked to Issued:

  • The Date Revoked is cleared with the previous date
  • The Expiration Date is required
  • Status is required

Pending Initial cannot be selected after the compliance code has been set to Revoked unless the compliance code has been setup to allow a pending license–in this scenario all license stages are allowed.

The user must have the required security to change a code from Revoked to another License Stage.

Only those Compliance Codes that are based on License / Expiration Date display in this tab.

License / Expiration Date based codes are different from the other Compliance Codes in that:

Typically, only when an employee completes a Compliance Code, a new record is added to the Completed grid.

  • For Licenses, the user will add a record before it is completed, so the Expiration Date can be entered.
  • Also, the Expiration Date is simply updated, instead of creating a new “Completed” record.

These codes are not available when using the HR: Employee Compliance Tracker Quick Entry feature.
