A state board inspector can walk in unannounced, in the middle of a busy day, and ask to see every license on your floor. If one ran out last month, you find out right there, in front of your clients. I want you to know before the inspector does. In FirstHR every license sits on file with its date and is flagged the day it runs out. Renters sign their agreements, staff sign your policies, and everyone takes your chemical safety course.
