Contracts and policies
Wageloch HR lets you prepare contract and policy templates, send them for signature, and track progress from one place.
Before you start
- Contract and policy templates must be PDF files.
- Add placeholders before issuing documents so staff and countersigners can complete all required fields.
- Confirm employee records are up to date before sending documents.
INFO
If you include a countersign placeholder, Wageloch will ask you to select the countersigner when issuing the document.
Contract templates
Use contract templates to issue employment agreements and role-specific terms.
Add a contract template
- Go to HR > Contract Templates.
- Select Upload Contract Template.
- Upload the PDF file.
- Review and set template details:
- File Name for internal naming.
- Title for the document name shown during issue.
- Placeholders for fields such as employee name, position, salary, and signatures.
- Drag placeholders into the document preview where each value should appear.
- Select Done to save the template.
TIP
Default placeholders cannot be deleted. Custom placeholders can be edited or removed.
