The company policies play a crucial role in establishing the guidelines for your employees. You need to set up and release well-defined policies for the employees so that employees can abide and stay compliant with the company policies. You also need to share the company policies & forms with the employees, which helps the employees to outline the opportunities and the benefits provided by the company. The clearly stated company policies keep transparency among the employees & employer and also help to improve workplace morale. You can configure company policies such as Leave Policies, Data & Mobile Expenses Reimbursement Policies, and Attendance Policies.

It is also necessary to gather and organize employee information in forms like Contract forms, Background check disclosure forms, Employee personal details forms, or any other forms, etc. You can easily configure, manage, track, and maintain all these company policies & forms activities through our greytHR - Company Policies & Forms page.

To view the Company Policies & Forms page, click Employee > Setup > Company Policies & Forms.
