HR and employee form templates

HR forms create records you may need to rely on later, so they have to be accurate, dated and signed, and they have to leave out what an employer should not hold. The templates here cover the paperwork of a working life, from the first day’s details to a final separation record. They keep sensitive items such as bank and tax numbers out of a web form, where they do not belong, and the disciplinary form has the employee sign that they received a warning, not that they agree with it.

Questions about hr & employee forms

Should these forms collect bank details or tax file numbers?

No. Payroll details belong in your payroll system, which is built to secure them. These templates leave them out and say so on the form.

Can the employee and the manager both sign?

Where the record needs both. The disciplinary action form has the supervisor’s signature, then the employee’s, with a box for when the employee declines to sign. The return-to-work form has the provider’s and the employee’s. The termination form is the manager’s record, so only the manager signs. Every response is timestamped when it is submitted.

Can I restrict who can open an internal form?

Yes. Add a password in Settings so only people who have it can respond, and share the link on your intranet or staff channel.
