What is the purpose of the revocation?** It provides a more accurate view of the skills of employees because registering skills explicitly as 'revoked' is more correct than e.g. deleting them or setting them to 'failed'. Because if you delete this skill, the arising skill-gap could be solved by planning a new training (as you normally do for missing skills). But when it is revoked, something special is going on, and this should not be neglected. For example: An employee can’t perform a specific skill (driving a forklift) anymore due to physical limitations (i.e. broken leg). Then the manager can revoke that specific skill for a certain time. During this period the skill will be invalid (seen as not achieved). And when the revocation ends or is deleted then the skill will become valid again. Example reasons: * Temporary use of medicine * Regulatory reasons (fines) * Too many incidents * Physical limitations * Pregnancy ### **3. How can you revoke a skill?** You can revoke an employee's skill via the matrix page, employee portfolio page, and employee list page. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ag5.com/skills/skill-revocation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
