This article covers how you can use the HR platform to update, approve, decline, and maintain assigned certifications.
These certifications are accessible through the Certifications feature, which allows your employees to complete their assigned certifications, update the data if it expires, and view a history log of their uploaded documentation. A manager can also use this feature to view and then approve and/or decline an employee's submitted certification.
Certifications will only appear within an employee's file if your admin has created and assigned the records via the Certification Settings feature.
