LearnerEmploymentStatus.EMPSTAT and LearnerEmploymentStatus.DATEEMPSTATAPP must be completed on all Employment Status records. LearnerEmploymentStatus.DATEEMPSTATAPP indicates the date the employment status was confirmed to apply. It is not necessarily the date on which the employment status changed.

The Employment status monitoring fields required are dependent on what is recorded in LearnerEmploymentStatus.EMPSTAT. Providers should check to make sure that the correct data has been gathered.
