Where Does BambooHR Store Employee Data?
Where BambooHR keeps employee data in cloud plus mobile cache on phones and computers. Exact folders are covered below.
Last updated
BambooHR is HR cloud with device viewing. Companies, employees, and time off live in your subdomain account. Phones and computers cache views and documents.
Same work email plus subdomain means same company. Exact cache names shift with HR versus payroll builds. Keep online during swaps so approvals upload. If the dashboard empties, check the subdomain first. A personal email twin is the usual empty company cause. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later.
