Page 17 of Forms & Recordkeeping

Business forms maintain complete recordkeeping

All businesses must keep accurate, timely records and adhere to certain legal regulations, which make HR forms so vital to operations. Having print copies for payroll, claims, OSHA recordkeeping, background checks, absence reports, and HIPAA privacy notices result in easy access for filing and for reviews. Non-digital job applications are also good to have, as well as invoices, deposit slips, purchase orders, and petty cash, sales receipt books, and rent receipts. It's helpful for companies to have books of bill of lading forms on hand for their shipments. These usually come in carbonless three to four part or short versions, in either black ink, or a combination of blue and red inks. The templates simplify filling out vital information, and as with other types of office documents, are commonly available in packs of 50 to 200.

Keep a variety of tax forms accessible to employees

Another critical component of accounting practices is having a consistent stock of tax forms on file. Always meet deadlines by sending out W-2 and 1099 forms and their assorted copies in pre-printed envelopes, along with other common paperwork such as W-3c Corrected Income and 1098t Tuition, including copies A and B. A practical technique is to have folders readily available, with health insurance forms and other key documents that address new employee questions and concerns.
