Signed Documents Folder

This article reviews the Signed Documents folder within the Documents page for Workforce. Here, Users can manage uploaded Documents that require electronic signatures from Employees.

Signed Documents Overview

Employees can be required to electronically sign Documents via the Employee Self-Service Portal. Documents that Employees are required to sign are housed in the 'Signed Documents' folder and have additional tracking. 

Documents can be uploaded to any folder on the Documents page or directly to the 'Signed Documents' folder. Regardless of where a Document is uploaded, signatures will not be requested from Employees until the 'Onboarding Settings' or 'Signature Request' settings are configured. Once these settings are applied to a Document, it will be automatically moved to the 'Signed Documents' folder.
Configuring Onboarding Settings will ensure that the Document is required from all Employees who are going through the Onboarding process. 

Sending a single signature request will require that current Employees sign the Document, but will not add the Document to new Employees' Onboarding. 

1. Name - Document name

2. Created - Date Document was uploaded

3. Request Sent - Date signature request was sent and which Employee Type is requested to sign the Document

4. Onboarding - Employee Type that has the Document included in their Onboarding

5. Created By - User who uploaded the Document

Onboarding Settings

Onboarding Settings determine which new Employees are required to sign a Document during Onboarding.
