Workplace Documents: Bringing Order to Chaos

Vital to the success of a growing enterprise is the effective management of employment documents. This process, however, if not structured properly, can evolve into a highly chaotic and messy proposition.

Typically under the auspices of an HR Department, the purpose of these documents is to clarify the rights, accountabilities, and expectations for successful workforce engagement. Part of the employee record, they play a critical role in ensuring consistency in how workplace policies, procedures, and practices are applied.

These are among the documents commonly used to codify an employment relationship:

• Employee Handbooks
• I-9 Employment Verification
• At-Will
• Independent Contractor
• Workplace Harassment

At EquaStart, we believe that compliance audits along with the need for organizational risk mitigation activity underscore the need for unalterable, timestamped, single source of truth documents. Other emerging trends informing Equa’s value proposition and solutions in this space include:

Companies are increasingly employing digitally signed records and other documents tied to workplace relationships.

The growing acceptance of “electronic signatures” as so-called wet signatures.

The need for easy access and identification of a single source of truth documents for workplace compliance audits and employer-employee disputes

HR cost and productivity savings associated with advancements in the management of records and permissioned access.

In today’s dynamic business environment where workplace disputes and compliance audits are common, seamless access to properly executed documents holds great importance. Equa Start’s innovative solution fostering frictionless, single source of truth documentation represents a major leap forward in this quest.
