Correction and Omission Record Sheet for Mandatory Legal Training Attendees

📌 Core Principles of Correction

When modifying the attendee list, rather than deleting existing records and overwriting them with a new file, you must link the original, the corrected version, and supporting documents to verify what has been changed and why. Typical errors in names, changes in affiliation, missing signatures, delays in reflecting completion information, and actual non-completion are distinct conditions.

This article focuses not on encouraging non-completionists or operating supplementary training, but on the correction procedures for errors discovered in attendance and completion records after the training has ended. Actual non-completion cases that cannot be resolved through correction must be managed separately as subjects for supplementary training.

🧭 1. First, identify the error type.

If the reasons for correction are not distinguished, simple typographical errors and changes to completion records may be processed in the same way. Separate errors in name or employee ID, discrepancies in department information, missing signatures, delays in reflecting completion in the system, duplicate entries, omission of subjects, and actual non-attendance at training.

🗂️ 2. Preserve the original list

The original list at the end of the training is preserved in a separate folder, and editing permissions are restricted. The corrected version displays the version, modification date, modifier, and approver, and the original lines are not deleted without a trace.

Instead of managing filenames like 'Final' or 'True Final', use the rule TrainingName_ImplementationDate_Version_CorrectionDate. If there are multiple correction history entries, ensure that the application period and reason for the change for each version can be viewed in a single table.

✍️ 3. For missing signatures, please check the completion status first.

You must not immediately mark a course as incomplete or have a person in charge sign on behalf of the participant solely on the grounds of a lack of a signature. Review whether there are materials to objectively verify participation at the time, such as training logs, seating assignments, access logs, evaluation results, certificates of completion, and instructor confirmations.

Once the completion of the course is confirmed, record the reason for the omission of the signature and the basis for verification on the correction form, and obtain the verifier's signature. If the basis is insufficient, do not merely supplement the record; you must also provide guidance on supplementary training.

💻 4. Compare the online completion materials with the internal roster.

The completion files of external training institutions and the company's personnel roster may differ in name spelling, employee ID, department, and reference date. First, establish unique identification standards to verify individuals with the same name, name changes, email address changes, and those who joined or left the company mid-term.

Even if the platform indicates completion, verify that the course name, training hours, progress and evaluation criteria, and completion date are correct. Conversely, if the course is marked as incomplete due to a system error, obtain confirmation data from the educational institution and retain it as grounds for correction.

📋 5. Please complete the Correction/Omission Supplementation Record Sheet.

It is best to record only one change per line. If you group changes from multiple people into a single note, it becomes difficult to determine later who made the modification and on what grounds.

In practice, it is useful to conduct two rounds of comparison: the day after training ends and before the end-of-month deadline. The first comparison compares the training institution's completion records with the internal list of participants to identify errors requiring immediate correction, while the second check verifies whether supplementary training and institutional correction requests have been reflected. Recording the number of participants and discrepancies for each comparison date allows you to explain when errors were discovered and resolved.

When new hires or employees returning from leave are added to the roster immediately after regular training, you must distinguish whether it was a simple omission or the emergence of a new training target. If they were not eligible at the time of the regular training cutoff date, they should be notified of a separate schedule; if they were eligible at the time but were omitted during the roster compilation process, the reason for the omission and measures to prevent recurrence must be recorded together. In either case, the actual completion date must be indicated on the final results table.

If an external agency reissues a certificate of completion due to an incorrect name entry, it is advisable to link the erroneous copy, the correction request email, and the reissued copy rather than deleting the original certificate. If the completion date or course name has changed, you must obtain confirmation from the agency to determine whether it is a simple typo or an actual change in the record. The person in charge must not arbitrarily edit the PDF and save it as a revised version.

If multiple workplaces use different educational institutions, a common correction code is assigned for aggregation. For example, N1 can be classified as a missing subject, S1 as a missing signature, and P1 as a delay in platform reflection. The code is intended to quickly identify the cause, and each individual row must include specific supporting documentation and the final action taken.

The results report distinguishes between the initial number of participants, the number of additional participants, the number of corrections, and those who actually did not complete the course versus those who completed supplementary training. The number of corrections must not be added up like training performance figures, and the final number of completers must be re-verified to match the individual lists. If the numbers do not match, excluded individuals, duplicates, resignations, and delays in institutional reflection are checked in order.

In group training, the total number of attendees in the training log may differ from the number of rows in the signature sheet. Verify cases of mid-term entry or early departure, duplicate signatures, or the inclusion of instructors or operational staff in the attendee list, and tally only the completion status of actual trainees. Do not alter the original using correction tape or overwriting; instead, attach a separate statement of reasons for correction.

In real-time video training, the username may differ from the actual employee name, or multiple people may participate from a single device. Do not confirm individual completion based solely on connection logs; verify it in conjunction with pre-registration lists, attendance verification procedures, and Q&A or evaluation results. Use screen captures as supplementary material, but ensure that unnecessary faces and conversation content are not excessively stored.

When requesting a correction from an educational institution, assign a request number and record the request date, person in charge, values ​​before and after the change, source files, and the expected response date. If the institution confirmed the correction solely by phone, record the date of the call and the verifier; if possible, obtain the modified result file or confirmation email and link it to the final documentation. Do not mark the internal list as 'Confirmed' prior to a response.

Since retention periods and required documentation may vary by training type, you must distinguish between training categories even when using integrated folders. If a single participant list groups multiple training courses, you must be able to differentiate the duration, required content, and completion status of each course. Do not copy and link a certificate of completion from one course to serve as documentation for another.

Separating the author and approver of correction authority can reduce errors. When the author enters the reason and basis for the change, another person in charge verifies it against the original, and any additional changes made after approval are processed as a new version. If role separation is difficult in a small organization, at least record the date of change and a review signature.

In cases requiring identity verification, such as name changes or employee ID updates, we link the change history in the HR system with training records, but avoid unnecessarily sharing past names widely. We limit the information transmitted to training institutions to the scope necessary for correcting completion records and verify that no temporary files remain after the correction is completed.

When formulating the training plan for the following year, we will categorize the corrections made so far by type and address the underlying causes. If there were frequent delays in platform updates, we will request additional interim completion data; if many new hires were omitted, we will adjust the timing of linking personnel appointments with the training list. Instead of attributing recurring errors solely to individual mistakes, we will revise the procedures for generating and verifying the lists.

🔁 6. Please transfer actual missing participants to supplementary training.

If a trainee is missing from the list and has not actually completed the training, you must not simply add their name to the correction sheet. The date of omission confirmation, the reason for being included, the method of supplementary training, the notification date, and the final completion date must be managed separately.

If an employee's status changes, such as due to resignation, leave of absence, or overseas assignment, re-verify the eligibility criteria and cutoff dates for each training program. If an employee is excluded, the basis for the decision and the verification date must be recorded so that the reason can be explained even if the person in charge changes.

🔐 7. Manage personal information and access permissions

Attendees' lists and certificates of completion may include names, affiliations, email addresses, and employee ID numbers. During the correction process, do not upload the entire list to messenger chat rooms or repeatedly send it to multiple contacts; instead, limit the scope to the necessary personnel and educational institutions.

When requesting corrections from external agencies, we provide only the minimum information necessary for the change and verify the file transfer method, retention period, and deletion status. We do not collect resident registration numbers or unnecessary health information as grounds for correction.

⚠️ 8. Common Errors

Typical errors include having the person in charge sign on behalf of the student, overwriting the original file, relying solely on the certificate of completion without verifying the course curriculum, treating actual non-completion as a simple correction, and failing to record the reason for the correction.

Correction is not merely about making past records look presentable, but is a process of accurately explaining the actual facts of implementation. If there is no basis, it must even leave a conclusion that supplementary training or reconfirmation is necessary.

✅ 9. Pre-deadline inspection

The person in charge for each training session recalculates whether the number of subjects, completers, non-completers, and excludeds match. The numbers in the originals, correction sheets, certificates of completion/access logs, supplementary training records, and the final results report must be consistent.
