Description: In this topic, the user will learn how to create, view, edit, or deactivate a Certification Requirement. Certification requirements are tasks that must be completed before an employee may work. Requirements can either be recurring or non-recurring. Recurring requirements are certifications like CPR that expire after a certain duration of time and must be renewed to keep the certification current. A non-recurring requirement is one that the organization only requires the employee to present once, such as a driver's license or passing a background check.
