CPD Schemes are usually set up with a specific or minimum number of hours required of staff per annum. We would expect those new joiners who join after 1 January in any given year to have their CPD prorated by reference to their start date. For example, someone joining in 1 Feb would only be required to do 11/12 of the minimum standard hours. Hopefully by referring to the start date field in the LMS, the pro rating can be done automatically (at the moment we have to manually make an adjustment). We understand there is a current ability to do an automatic adjsutment, but that it increases the following year's CPD as well, which we do not want or think appropriate as staff would instead revert to the standard CPD hours in the following year.
Reduces manual intervention and administrator time as well as accuracy of CPD adjustment calculation.
