How does a company manage a rejected competency?
When a competency is rejected, the RIW System User who submitted the evidence will receive email notification that the competency has been rejected. Please refer to the Rejection Reasons & Remediation table at the end of this article for more information.
This article details how to manage a competency that has been rejected at the verification stage.
This instruction applies to the following RIW System User Roles:
- Advanced Project Admin
- Employer Admin
- Employer Admin - No Payment
- Project Admin
- Site Admin
Step 1: Log in to the RIW System
Go to https://app.riw.net.au and login using your credentials.
Step 2: Evidence Verifications
On the Main Dashboard, click on the Evidence Verifications shortcut under the Assessment & Verification tile. The number of rejected verifications will be identified by a blue box notification.
Step 3: Pending Competencies to be Verified
The Pending Competencies to be Verified screen will display, and all cardholders pending verification will be listed. To see any rejected verifications, filter the status to Rejected and click Search.
On the right hand side there will be a short description in the Rejection Reason column.
Step 4: View Verification Notes
To view more details about the rejection, highlight the record and click on View Verification Notes. A Verification Notes pop-up will appear, detailing the date of rejection, the short rejection reason and rejection reason notes. If the verifier had any additional notes, this is located in the Verification Notes box. This may include additional notes on the rejection and/or instructions on how to rectify the issue.
To close the Verification Notes window, click on the X on the window.
Step 5: View cardholder profile
Once the reason for rejection has been determined, select the row and then click on View Person to be taken to the cardholders profile.
The cardholders profile will now display.
Select the competency type (National, Employer, Network-Based, Project-Based, Site-Based or Zone-based) from the menu on the left. This will bring up the cardholders valid competencies. Select Show All to view the cardholders pending or rejected verifications, which will display in red.
Step 6: Rejection Reasons
To view the notes relating to the rejected competency, select the notepad icon next to Verification Rejected.
This will display a pop-up with the rejected verification notes. The Verifications Team will provide a reason for the rejection and instructions on how to rectify the issue relating to the competency.
Step 7: Re-award competency
Once the reason for the rejection has been addressed, re-award the competency.
Begin typing in the competency field and the name should appear in a drop-down menu. Select the most appropriate competency, enter the Award Date then select Add.
Step 8: Upload evidence
Upload the required evidence by clicking on Select files and following the prompts. Then choose Standard or Fast Track. Fast tracks costs $55+GST for an 8 business hour turn around. Click on the Add button once complete.
If Standard is selected, the pending verification will display next to the competency name in the cardholders profile. Standard competencies are processed within 2 business days.
Step 9: Fast Track
If Fast Track was selected, the Shopping Basket will display for payment of the fast track fee.
Note: if multiple competencies are required to be fast tracked for the cardholder, continue to add competencies (up to 20) before finalising payment.
Proceed to the Checkout for payment. Enter the relevant card details, before selecting Complete.
Once paid, a confirmation of the transaction will be displayed. The invoice will remain available in the Payment History tab of the RIW System.
Step 10: Monitor verifications
Competencies can be monitored for verification by returning to the Main Dashboard and clicking on the Evidence Verifications shortcut as described in Step 2.
