Available for the following HR plans: Free, Standard, Premium, Platinum
Available for the following user access levels: Contractor    , Admin    

As an organisation, HR compliance is the understanding that all your operations must follow the relevant employment laws, rules, and regulations. One way to achieve this is via contractor documentation and making sure your contractors know what their contractual obligations are, and the payment process they will need to follow.

You can use the HR Documents feature to select the relevant document, complete any required variables, and then email it to the chosen contractor to accept and sign. This feature also ties in with the Authorising Signatory feature, which allows your organisation to create a pre-filled signature that users can then select when completing a document.

If you need to remind contractors to sign allocated HR documents and contracts, you can access this feature from the HR Documents report. To read further details on how to send a reminder, refer to this article.

If your contractors need to sign a new contract and/or view their assigned documents, they can do so through the My Documents feature. To read further details on how your employees can access this feature, refer to the following article.
