E-sign documents and onboarding

Collect signatures on contracts and policies and track new-hire onboarding tasks to completion.

Two features make day one smooth: e-sign gets contracts and policy acknowledgements signed inside Limnn, and onboarding tracks the checklist of everything a new hire must do or receive.

Sending a document for signature

  1. 1Open People > E-sign (/people/esign) and choose New request.
  2. 2Upload the document or pick a stored HR document template.
  3. 3Choose the employee (or candidate) who must sign and any co-signers.
  4. 4Send. The signer receives a link, reviews and signs.
  5. 5The signed PDF is stored on the employee record with a completion timestamp.
  • Statuses move from sent to viewed to signed; declined requests notify the sender.
  • Signed documents are stored securely in HR storage and are visible to HR and the employee.
  • Use Signed documents to audit who signed which policy and when.

Onboarding checklists

  1. 1Open People > Onboarding and choose a template or create one.
  2. 2Add tasks with an owner (HR, IT, manager or the new hire) and a due date relative to the start date.
  3. 3Assign the template to the new employee.
  4. 4Owners complete their tasks; progress is shown as a percentage on the record.
  • Typical tasks: sign contract, submit ID, receive laptop, meet manager, complete required training.
  • Link a Learning path so mandatory courses are assigned automatically.
  • Offboarding uses the same task model for exits.
E-sign and onboarding are HR administrator features to configure; employees and task owners only see the items assigned to them.
