What you get

Everything a staff file needs

Staff files

Licenses, certifications and documents for every person, employees, per diem and contractors alike, with up to 30 custom fields.

Requirements

What each role needs, each with its own renewal rule and status. Our free personnel file checklist lists them by role.

Training hours

Sessions with topic and hours, counted against each person's yearly target, such as an aide's 12 hours of in-service.

Screening

Background checks, and a dated exclusion check for every person each month.

Reminders and digest

Email to staff before items expire, and one weekly email to each manager with what needs attention on their team.

Personnel file and binder

One person's file, or a binder for a list, ready to print. Not-required and exempt items show too, so nothing goes missing quietly.

How it works

Set it up once, then let the reminders run

Add your people and their roles

Type them in or import a spreadsheet. Each person gets a role, a hire date and an employment type: employee, per diem or contractor.

Set what each role needs

Pick a renewal rule for each requirement: it expires on the date printed on it, it repeats every so many months, it counts hours over a period, or it happens once.

Keep up from the digest

People are emailed before their items expire, and managers see what is due for their team in one weekly email.

Annual training hours for nine direct support professionals against a 12-hour target over a rolling 12 months: one short, one behind pace, two on track and five met, each with a progress bar, the hours still needed and when the window ends

FAQ

Questions, answered

What does Personnel Ledger track?

Licenses and certifications with their expiration dates, training and in-service hours, competency evaluations, orientation, criminal background checks, monthly exclusion screening, and the documents behind each one, for every person on your staff. Each requirement has its own renewal rule and applies to the roles you choose.

Is it only for hospices?

No. Hospice is the first sector with its own setup, so hospice accounts get starter roles and requirement guidance with the federal citations behind it. Any organization that tracks staff licenses and certifications, including home health agencies, clinics, therapy practices and staffing agencies, can use the general setup, which uses plain workplace language and leaves the hospice rules out.

Can different roles have different requirements?

Yes. Each requirement applies to the roles you choose, so a nurse, a driver and an office manager each see only what their role needs. A person who does not need an item shows it as exempt, with the reason, rather than missing.

Can we track contractors and per-diem staff?

Yes. Each person carries an employment type, so employees, per-diem staff and contractors sit in one list with the requirements that apply to them.

Who gets reminders, and how?

By email. Staff members get an email before something they hold expires. Managers get one weekly email that lists what is due or overdue for the people they oversee. The people you track do not need their own login to receive reminders.

Does Personnel Ledger run background or exclusion checks?

No. You run each check with your screening vendor or on the government site, and Personnel Ledger records the date, the result and who did it, so the evidence is in the file when someone asks for it.

Does it replace our HR or payroll system?

No. Payroll, benefits and hiring stay where they are. Personnel Ledger is the credential and compliance file that sits beside them.

Can we print a file for an auditor, a surveyor or a client?

Yes. Print any person's complete file, or a binder for a list of people, with each requirement, its status and its dates under your organization's name and logo.

Does it store patient or client information?

No. Personnel Ledger holds staff records only. There are no patient or client fields, so care records stay in the systems built for them. It is not designed to hold patient information, and we do not sign business associate agreements for it. See how staff records are protected on our security page.

Will it guarantee we pass a survey or an audit?

No software can promise that. Personnel Ledger tracks what each person needs, shows what is missing or overdue, and keeps the evidence together and ready to print. Deciding what your state, your accreditor and your own policies require is still your organization's call, and the built-in guidance shows the source of each rule to help.

Is there a per-person or per-user fee?

No. One plan covers unlimited staff and unlimited users, with roles that control who can change records and who can only view them. The price does not change as your staff grows.

What happens when the free trial ends?

Subscribe to keep working in your account. If you don't, it becomes read-only: your records stay there to view and export for 12 months. After that the account and its records are deleted, and every administrator gets an email at least 30 days before, so you can export your records or subscribe again first.
