Clearances, cards and training, on each person's record
Training Tracking lists every course someone hasn't finished, with its deadline. When they sign it off, it leaves the list and the date stays on their profile.
Your center's paperwork, all in one place
Where each background check stands, every CPR card with its date, and who hasn't finished their training.
The whole staff on one list
Checks, CPR cards and orientation for everyone in the center, with whatever has lapsed marked.
An expired card shows up
When a CPR card runs out, it's marked Expired and the teacher is flagged.
Where each check stands
Record each background check as the results come in: in progress, completed or failed.
One room's first weeks, set up once

In childcare, someone new starts almost every month, and each of them needs a background check, a CPR card and orientation before they're alone with the kids. Most directors keep track of all that in a binder and in their head, while also covering a classroom. I don't think one person should have to hold all of it. In FirstHR every new teacher gets the same plan. You see where each background check stands. And when a CPR card runs out, you see it right away.
