Employee qualification is the level of skills, experience, knowledge, and other qualification of a particular employee. In other words, a qualification is what an employee must know or be able to do.

Where and how the employee qualification is defined

  • The requirements for the employee's qualifications are set in the job position description, and
  • The employee who works on the job position must meet these requirements.
  • If they do not meet them, they cannot work in the given job position or must develop the required qualifications and the given level of skills.
  • The difference between the qualification requirements and the qualifying employee is called the skills gap
