    Hi, we are in the process of updating our orientation/sign on booklet. We are wondering what the best practice is for this…..should we have the new employee sign off on each policy each page? Or is it OK to have them sign one blanket form that says they have read & understand the booklet? Thanks Polly

    Definitely not on each page. In addition to being annoying, that’s overkill and dilutes the value of the acknowledgement.
    Once at end of binder should be fine. But you can also have a signature line for a few isolated policies that you consider especially important and want to emphasize.
    Personally, I think acknowledgements are a bit overrated, at least from a legal standpoint. A signature is rarely enough to persuade an inspector, judge or arbitrator that an employee actually read and understood a policy. Hope that helps. Glenn
