Flashpoint Q&A's

  LOG-IN TO FLASHPOINT  

"My Company" overview:

  • Click on My Company.
  • Information appears on this page that confirms current contact information, Trade, apprentice IOA number, hours missed of most current class to date, total OJT hours currently and the most current grade percentage. You will need to move decimal points to the right 2 digits as Flashpoint is working to resolve the calculation issue ( e.g., 0.871058321504888 is 87%).

  • Click My Company.
  • Click on Work Reports and you should see the apprentice’s name with hours waiting for approval.
  • Click on the empty box next to the apprentice’s name and under National ID, to view the daily breakdown of each apprentice individually.  Make sure there are no holidays or vacation days submitted.
  • Click the back arrow at the top of the page to return to the approval section.
  • If changes need to be made to the hours submitted, check the empty box to the far left of the apprentice’s name.  Then click Reject Selected and the apprentice will be automatically notified via email that they need to correct and resubmit the month.
