Workers acknowledging policies

Policies that require worker sign-off appear in the My ReFresh portal as pending items. Workers review the policy and sign it off in the way you have set, and ReFresh logs a timestamped record of every sign-off.

How workers are notified: When you assign a policy, ReFresh notifies workers by email and in the My ReFresh portal. There is no SMS channel, and notification delivery is not configurable per worker today.

How worker sign-off works

  1. Assign the policy to workers from the policy's page in Records using Assign.

  2. ReFresh notifies each assigned worker by email and in the My ReFresh portal.

  3. Workers log in to the My ReFresh portal and see the policy in their pending items.

  4. Workers complete the sign-off in the way you have configured for that policy (see below).

  5. ReFresh records a timestamped sign-off against each worker.

Sign-off methods

Each policy specifies how workers must sign off. There are four methods:

  • Signature: the worker provides a signature to confirm they have read and agree to the policy

  • Acknowledge: the worker acknowledges the policy

  • Check: the worker ticks a box to confirm

  • View: the worker confirms they have viewed the policy

Choose the sign-off method to match the weight of the policy: a formal code of conduct might need a signature, while a routine update might only need a view or acknowledgement.

Checking sign-off status

On the policy's page, open the sign-off tab to see:

  • Which workers have signed off

  • Which workers are still pending

  • The date and time each worker signed off

  • Email delivery status for each notification

You can send a reminder to workers who have not yet signed off.

Re-acknowledgement on a new version

When a policy moves to a new version, sign-off resets. Workers see the updated policy in their pending items again and must sign off on the new version. See Policy version control and renewal tracking.
