Employee Competency Detail

Precondition: Before a competency review detail can be added for an employee, an employee review detail needs to exist.

Fields on the Employee Competency Detail

Employee Number. The employee for whom the competency information is recorded.
Competency Profile Cd. On the Employee Competency Detail, select a competency profile code. Depending on the setup of the competency profile, competency codes pre-populate the competency rating section.
Performance Review (required). Select the performance review for this competency detail. Every competency detail must be associated with a performance review.
Competency Codes. Up to six competency codes pre-populate the competency rating section. Optionally, select alternate competency codes as needed.
Rating boxes. As part of the review record, six competencies can be rated numerically from one to ten. Ratings often are 1 to 5 with 5 being excellent. If a rating for a competency is blank, that competency is omitted when calculating the average. However, when a zero is entered as a Ranking, the overall ranking is lowered.

A Rating box looks blank when it has a space in it, but when you save, a space without a numeral in a Rating box causes a syntax error, such as "Line 1: Incorrect syntax near ‘,’ ." Delete the space and save again. The system prohibits negative numbers for competency Ratings: "Error converting data type int to tinyint." However, negative numbers may be entered in the Notes field.

Notes. Optional comments and notes can be entered but are not required.
Average Rating. The average rating is system calculated to four places after the decimal point and then rounded.
