1) Overview

An ability is a certain qualification or skill that a user may require to perform their role or rostered shift.

This is useful when creating a roster as Easy Employer can display the abilities of all users so a rostering leader can assign shifts to appropriate staff members. Those who create rosters can see when assigning shifts, if an ability has expired for a user.

Some abilities may expire. Certain qualifications or certifications have an expiry date attached to ensure people keep their knowledge and skills up to date.
