How To Publish an essential document

Publishing essential documents to HR Docs

To publish documents, you need to be an Admin or a Manager with 'HR Docs' permissions for the relevant offices.

Steps to Publish Documents

  • Log in to HRLocker:

    • Use your Admin or Manager credentials to access HRLocker.
  • Navigate to HR Docs:

    • Click on HR Docs.


  • Add a New Document:

    • Click on the Add New button to begin uploading a document.
  • Enter Document Details:

    • Provide the document name and a description.
    • Upload the file that you want to publish.
  • Choose Recipients:

    • Select the audience for the document. You can publish the document by:
      • Office
      • Department
      • User Type
      • Specific Employee(s)
  • Mark as Essential:

    • If you want to require employees to acknowledge the document, check the “essential document” checkbox.
      • This will prompt employees to read, sign, and confirm that they have read and understood the document.
      • This confirmation constitutes an electronic signature, serving as an official acknowledgment.
  • Submit:

    • Press the Submit button to publish the document. It will be sent to the selected employees and available in their HR Docs section for review and acknowledgment.

Once the document you have uploaded is published, all relevant employees, departments, and offices (depending on options sent when uploading) will be emailed about the publication of the document and asked to read and sign it.

Thereafter, if the document has not been signed, the relevant employees who have not signed will be notified every 21 days about not signing the document.
