Secondaries and Certifications

Secondary Positions and Certifications are used for additional requirements, such as the Emergency Response Team.

These codes are separate from Position Codes and indicate a special level of certification for employees. They are assigned to individual employee records under the 2POS/Certification tab within the Employee Profile.

Requirements are created separately for Secondary Positions and Certifications and work in conjunction with the daily core staffing requirements. If Secondary Positions and Certifications are not enabled in your system, email Support to get started on setting this up.
