Setting "No Training Required" Status

If an employee will be offsite for an extended period of time due to relocation or extended leave, you may want to temporarily change their training status to no training required to suppress any further training reminder notices.

If the employee has left SLAC permanently, instead, please contact records@slac.stanford.edu to have them deactivated in the SLAC Human Resources database.

Follow these steps to temporarily set an employee's status to no training required:

  1. Check the no training required check box.
  2. Check the Interim Change check box.
  3. Click the Send button to save your changes.
