Monday Morning Report

Ability LMS sends you a weekly, compiled Monday Manager Report including:

• Expired and/or overdue training for your team members and yourself
• Training due within the week for your team members and yourself

Only training assigned through learning tracks will be included on your report. You will not receive a report if your team does not have any expired/expiring learning tracks. 

 

Frequent Questions

• What should I do with the report information?

  The report highlights potential non-compliance. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring their team members complete required training. Information to assist your team member in completing the training:

  • The team member can log in to Ability to find required training under My Requirements (check for "incomplete" track status or upcoming expiration dates).
  • New employees can learn basics about Ability on the New Users page.
  • Technical problems in completing the required training can be sent to ORRS.train@msu.edu, preferably with screenshots, device and browser information.
• Can I forward the Monday Manager report to others?

  Monday Manager Reports can contain sensitive information. Remove individual learners' details prior to forwarding to any other student or employee.

• How do I remove a person from my list?

  Teams are compiled from a combination of HR records and ad-hoc assignments in Ability. If you are receiving notifications for a team member you no longer supervise, see instructions on removing a team member from your list.

• What if the training subject does not apply to my role?

  If you are notified of training that is not required for a team member's position with you: first, check with the team member to see if they need the training for another position or academic role. Personnel at MSU often hold multiple roles including student and employee, and sometimes they work at multiple positions in multiple units. Supervisors in Ability are notified of all urgent training concerns for each of their team members, regardless of which job/role requires the training.

  If training is not needed for any current role, see instructions on removing training assignments.

  If training is required for another role, ignore the notification that does not apply to your work. The person's other supervisor or academic program administrator will also be notified.

• Does my employee have to complete training if on leave or furlough?

  Federal employment laws (29 CFR 785.27) generally forbid employers from requiring employees or potential employees from completing training without compensation. Employees who are furloughed, on maternity leave, sick leave, vacation or between on-call/temporary work assignments can wait until they return to work or be paid while they complete training.

  As a supervisor, you may ignore notifications or reports for people who are temporarily off-work until they return. If the employee will be off for an extended time and the reminders are causing problems, you can usually remove tracks for job-safety related training. For other programs that are auto-assigned, you can reach out to the training program owner to see if the training can be waived temporarily. The program owners will decide based on their resources to maintain waiver lists.
