Ability | Expiration Indicators in Rosters
1) Overview
Ability reminders are useful in situations when an ability (certificate, qualification, skill, etc.) has a set expiration date. Ability reminders can notify you (or the employee user) of the expiration of the ability, which can trigger the necessary review works (e.g. renewal).
Pay update reminders (otherwise known as "link to pay") appears when creating or editing an ability within easyemployer. The feature allows you to link abilities to a reminder in the payroll report should the ability expire. An organisation may be required to pay a user with a specific ability more as it is considered valuable. This reminder can then trigger the necessary review works (e.g. update payroll application or Easy Employer award configuration).
