Questions

Frequently asked

What makes performance documentation hold up?

Notes written the same day, with facts, dates, the policy or expectation involved, and the employee's response, stored securely.

Can employees see their personnel file?

In some states, yes. California and Illinois give employees the right to inspect their personnel records, so write every note as if the employee will read it.

Is this legal advice?

No. ModuleHire HR guides and templates are general guidance. Review anything that affects an employee with your legal counsel before you use it.

How do I get the files?

Right after checkout you get a download page and an email link. Everything you buy also lives in your library at hr.modulehire.com/library.html, so you can download it again any time.

Which states do the guides cover?

Guides on topics where state law matters, such as pay, leave, hiring, and terminations, include state notes for California, New York, Illinois, Texas, and Florida alongside federal rules.
