How to use it
Use it in this order
The 4 steps below run in the order they are numbered, and by the last one you run the five-minute monthly review.
Load your roster. Open the Crew Roster tab and enter your people, their crew, their role or trade, and their foreman. The sample names belong to Beacon Mechanical and Sons, a fictional contractor; type over them.
Pick the requirements for each role. On the Requirement Catalog, replace the sample rows with the licenses, cards, and certifications your work requires. Jurisdiction and renewal interval are your entries; confirm both with the issuing body.
Enter the cards and dates. On the License and Card Register, log each item per person: the number, the issuing body, the dates, and whether a lapse blocks work. Sight each card once and record it in Verified On and Verifier.
Run the five-minute monthly review. Open the Dashboard, handle anything under Stops work first before the next shift, move renewals along the Renewal Pipeline, and run the quarterly walk with the License Verification Log and Renewal Checklist.
Before you buy
Clear answers to the practical questions.
The point of a product page is to let you judge the work before checkout.
What exactly do I receive?
4 PDF guides, 1 Word document, 1 Excel workbook, each one named in the What is inside section above. The purchase is a download, not a subscription, and the files are yours to keep.
Are these the real screenshots?
Yes. The preview images on this page are taken from the current deliverable, so you can judge the structure and writing before buying.
Can I use the files in my business?
The files are designed to be edited for your own internal operations. Review the included license and have legal counsel check decisions that require jurisdiction-specific advice.
What if I need help applying it?
Use the $149 Setup Session for one hour of implementation help on this tool. TrueStep HR does not offer broader consulting engagements. For a legal question, use qualified counsel.

Foreman Field Toolkit
Give the field leader the words and the paper trail. You get scripts for the five hardest jobsite conversations and incident forms in English and Spanish. One workbook keeps the crew record current in five minutes a week.
Technician Pay and Retention Toolkit
Build a pay ladder technicians can see, and hold stay conversations on a cadence. Then decide the counteroffer before the resignation lands, using your own rates rather than scraped market data.
