IPPS-A DL HR Professional / Payroll Specialist Practice Exam

What action updates a Member's Qualifications and Skills?

1. Approval of a Qualifications and Skills PAR

2. Member's self-evaluation

3. Annual performance review

4. Completion of training programs

The correct answer is: Approval of a Qualifications and Skills PAR

The approval of a Qualifications and Skills Performance Action Request (PAR) is the correct action that updates a member's qualifications and skills. This process typically involves a formal review of the member's qualifications and skills, making it an official method for documenting any changes or updates to their professional profile. The PAR serves as the mechanism through which any enhancements, new qualifications, or updates acquired by the member are officially recognized and recorded in their personnel file. While a member's self-evaluation can provide valuable insights into their perceived skills and qualifications, it does not result in an official update or record change without further action, such as a supervisor's review or formal approval. Similarly, an annual performance review focuses on assessing overall job performance rather than specifically updating qualifications and skills, and while completion of training programs can contribute to qualifications, it alone does not guarantee that the updates are recorded or acknowledged until an official request like a PAR is submitted and approved.
