Policy Acknowledgements
Get every employee's signature on every policy, and know who still owes what.
Get every employee's signature on every policy, and know who still owes what.
Overview
Employees sign off on a steady stream of policies: IT and security rules at hire, new AI policies, personnel manual updates, safety plans, vehicle use, and open enrollment. When those acknowledgements arrive on paper and by email, HR spends weeks collecting signatures and still can't confirm who signed which version. This workflow sends each policy to the employees who need it and keeps a record you can pull up for any employee or policy.
Why it matters
Proof of every signature
Each acknowledgement is stored with the employee, the policy version, and the date signed, ready for an audit or investigation.
Policy updates that reach everyone at once
A new or revised policy goes to every affected employee together, and HR sees who still owes a signature. [confirm bulk send]
Complete sign-offs for every new hire
New hires sign each required policy online, and HR knows when the full set is done.

Policy owners choose who needs to sign each policy and set a deadline.
Employees who haven't signed are reminded until they do.
Supervisors see who on their team still owes a signature.
