HR documentation can be a minefield. Making sure you have all the documents you need is vital for record-keeping, reporting, and informing your management and staff.
Successfully managing your HR documentation depends on having the right documents in the first place. Expertly written HR document templates available on BrightBase can help you tick this off your list in no time. All you need to do is download the template you need and customize it to your business.
After that, our secure HR document storage system takes over. BrightHR lets you upload, store, and view your documents without hesitation. But it also goes the extra mile, letting you share important documents, enable read receipts, get automatic notifications, and use our document-to-do list to track the status of your documents.

Yes, there are so many benefits to cloud-based document storage.
Let’s face it, no modern business is getting by without cloud-based backup for their documentation. Not only is it a more cost-effective way to store the ton of documents you need, but it also gives you easy access to your documents. It’s the flexibility you need with all the moving parts that any business involves.
BrightHR’s unlimited document storage is also ultra-secure, so you don’t need to think twice about the safety of your confidential information.
You won’t need to! Our HR document storage is unlimited.
It’s important that you don’t keep information for longer than necessary. But the law generally has different rules for how long a business needs to keep HR documents depending on the type of document and the information it holds. The general rule is that employee records are to be retained for three years after the employee ceases to be employed by the employer.
Make sure you’re following the law by getting advice directly from HR experts. BrightBrAInbox is our A.I. question and answer platform with over 5,000 frequently asked HR questions with answers provided by industry experts that can help you navigate the law and your obligations.
