# Creating, editing, or deleting an employee task

Within **Cintra iQ**, you have the ability to create a **Task** list for an employee using the **Employee Task** functionality. This is so that you can check that required tasks are performed for the employee.

The **Employee Tasks** functionality enables you to assign tasks to an employee with a given due date. You can also edit or delete an employee task.

You can change the details of the task by opening an existing **Task** record and making the modifications there, or you can change the **Due Date** and/or **Status** within the record itself.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** If you decide to change the Due Date and/or Status within the Task list, ensure you click the Apply button to save the change.
