What determines whether a worker is labelled as Compliant?
On Kinatico Compliance the compliance status is binary - people are either compliant or they're not. This clarity eliminates ambiguity and supports decisive compliance management.
How Compliance Status is Determined
Default Status: Compliant ✅
Workers start as "Compliant" and maintains this status when:
- No assigned requirements are overdue
- No requirements have failed verification
Non-Compliant Status ⚠️
Worker's status changes to "Non-Compliant" when either:
1. Overdue Requirement - Any assigned requirement remains incomplete past its due date - System automatically updates status at midnight on the due date - Status persists until the requirement is completed successfully
2. Failed Requirement - A requirement submission doesn't meet required standards - Verification process identifies non-compliance issues - Manual review determines inadequate completion
Special Circumstances: Deferrals and Exemptions
When a deferral/exemption request is submitted:
- Worker remains "Compliant" whilst deferral/exemption is under review
- If a decision isn't made before the original due date, status automatically changes to "Non-Compliant"
- Status updates immediately once deferral/exemption is approved or denied
⚠️ Important: Timely review of deferral and exemption requests prevents unnecessary compliance status changes and maintains accurate workforce visibility.
Common Scenarios Explained
Scenario 1: New Worker Onboarding
Situation: New worker with 30-day compliance requirements
Status Logic:
- Days 1-29: "Compliant" (requirements not yet due)
- Day 30+: "Non-Compliant" if requirements incomplete/failed
Scenario 2: Deferral Request Management
Situation: A Worker requests a deferral for training due to illness
Status Logic:
- During review: "Compliant"
- If undecided past due date: "Non-Compliant"
- Upon approval: "Compliant" with new due date
