    Article summary

    Overview

    Certification Tracking is used to record and monitor the expiration dates of certifications that are required for the jobs that an employee works, such as a driver's license or ServSafe certificate. 

    Each certification requirement that is tracked is defined as a certification type on the Labor Admin page. The certification type defines the name of the certification requirement and when notifications for expired certifications are sent. 

    Certifications held by an employee are tracked by assigning the associated certification type on the Certifications tab of their employee record. Employees can have multiple instances of the same certification type if they hold more than one certification of that type. Expiration notifications will be sent for each certification that they hold. Learn more about assigning certifications to employees here

    Supporting documentation can be uploaded in the details of the certification assigned to the employee. Up to 10 files can be uploaded per certification.
