FAQs

Why can't I delete a document?

Any documents that have been sent to an employee at some point cannot be deleted. This is done so that the history of which staff has received the document can be retained for record keeping.

How do employees access documents to acknowledge?

If an employee has been sent documents through Employee Onboarding, the documents can be accessed through the Documents tab. Employees are required to acknowledge documents to submit their onboarding forms.

If an employee has been sent documents outside of Employee Onboarding, they will receive an email notifying them that a document is pending acceptance. This email will include a link to the Workforce mobile app, where the document can be accepted.
