Understanding Notifications in the Manage Professional Compliance Business Process

Manager and supervisors who are in charge of bringing workers into compliance with professional certification requirements are often required to take time-critical actions—for example, when a company hires an individual and assigns the individual to a development plan, the supervisor may need to register that person with the regulatory authority that is responsible for certifying members of the individual's professional group. For this reason, PeopleSoft built a flexible form of notification into the Manage Professional Compliance process, which includes workflow so that the system can inform managers and supervisors of any critical actions that they must take.

Notifications in Manage Professional Compliance are associated with six activities and processes:

• Hire.

  When you add an individual to the Manage Professional Compliance process using Workforce Administration, Personal Information, Add a person, you can set up the system to inform the general supervisor of any actions that they may need to take related to professional compliance.

• RI add (regulated individual add).

  When you bring an individual into the professional compliance process manually (rather than through the Add a Person option in the Workforce Administration, Personal Information menu), you can set up the system to inform the individual's supervisor of subsequent actions that they may need to take.

• Classification change.

  When you reclassify an individual in the Manage Professional Compliance process (that is, when you change the individual's classification type from noncompliant to compliant, or from level 1 compliant to level 2 compliant, and so on), you can set up the system to inform you of any subsequent actions that you may need to take.

• Job change.

  You can set up the system to notify you of any actions that you need to take in response to a job change. For example, you may need to enroll the employee in a different development plan that is suited to the new position.

• Termination.

  You can set up the system to notify you of any actions you may need to take when an employee leaves the company. For example, you may need to inform the regulatory authority that certifies members of the employee's professional group that the employee has been terminated.

• Recertification.

  You can set up the system to notify you of any actions that you need to take to recertify individuals when a prior certification is about to expire.
