Purpose

1.1. Ensure proactive management of document compliance, such as staff certification renewals, ID card expiry, permit deadlines, and mandatory accreditation documents for adult education staff and faculty.
1.2. Automate reminders to responsible parties prior to document expiration to avoid lapses that can result in legal, financial, or reputational risk.
1.3. Maintain auditable logs of notifications for regulatory compliance review and internal audits.
1.4. Synchronize document expiry status across HR, compliance, and learning management systems for end-to-end traceability.

Trigger Conditions

2.2. Document upload triggers with insufficient time before expiry (e.g., new ID uploaded that expires in <30 days).
2.3. Scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly checks for upcoming expirations per employee, vendor, or student.
2.4. Manual override flag set by compliance officer for urgent escalation.
