The Problem
HR departments track a high volume of employee documents with serious compliance implications. I-9 work authorizations have hard expiration dates — employing someone with an expired work authorization is a federal violation with fines starting at $252 per form. Background checks need periodic re-screening, especially for roles with fiduciary responsibility. Professional certifications, safety training records, and drug test certifications all expire on different schedules.
The challenge compounds with headcount. An HR team managing 100 employees might track 300 to 500 expiring documents, each requiring different lead times and renewal processes.
