Set Up Required HR Documents

What you'll do

Build the list of HR documents each staff member needs on file. Every staff member you add gets the same checklist automatically, and Office Puzzle tracks expiration dates and reminds people before anything runs out.

Before you start

  • Do this before you add your staff.

  5. Restricts stops a staff member from working in the system if a required document is missing or expired. Lead time sets how far ahead of expiration the restriction starts.

    Leave Restricts off for now

    If you turn it on before your team has uploaded their documents, everyone you add will be blocked. Come back and turn it on once their documents are in.
