Roles and qualifications allow you to enhance your use of the rostering within the ClockOn system. They allow you to see if you have an adequate staff complement in a particular business function, as well as see potential mistakes where staff are assigned to a task that they do not have the necessary requirements for.


In this article we will be covering the following items;

  1. Creating Qualifications
  2. Creating Roles
  3. Assigning Roles and Qualifications To Employees
  4. Rostering With Roles & Qualifications

Creating Qualifications

Qualifications are used to specify the requirements that an employee must hold in order to complete a role in the business an example may be that a manager must be a key holder, or a professional must hold a relevant qualification.

To add a qualification to the system use the Setup menu item and select Additional Settings

Then select Qualifications


To add a new qualification, use the + Add Qualifications button.


At this point the only information needed is the name of the qualification, all other details are set directly on the employee when linking them to it.
