# How Do I Track Technician Licenses Before They Expire?

You track licenses by attaching each one to the technician's record with a number, issuing body, and expiry date, and by sending reminders to the technician and the manager well before the date. On **Jestor**, this runs through an employees **table**, document fields, and recurring automation.

Many field jobs require valid licenses. A technician working with an expired one creates legal risk for the company and can invalidate warranties or insurance. Keeping licenses visible also helps with planning, because managers can see months ahead which technicians will need renewal courses or exams and schedule them around busy periods.

## What untracked licenses cost

- Technicians working with expired licenses unnoticed
- Jobs cancelled at the last minute when a license is found invalid
- Renewals rushed or missed
- Documents difficult to find during audits
- Insurance or customer contracts put at risk
- Renewal exams or courses booked too late to fit the schedule

## How license tracking works

- Each license is a **record** with number, body, and expiry date
- Reminders go out 90, 60, and 30 days before expiry
- A dashboard lists licenses by expiry date
- Renewed documents replace old ones with history kept
- Required licenses can be linked to job types, so assignments check them

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Renewals are planned instead of rushed
- Assignments can avoid unlicensed technicians
- Audits are easier because records are ready
- This scales from a small team to a large workforce
