Policies in an organization are like rules in a game — they provide a clear framework for individual behavior and collective success. HRStop lets you upload and manage company policies that you can later make accessible to employees.

Steps to add a policy

  1. Navigation: Go to Control Panel → Forms/Policies → Policy.
  2. Click the + Add New button in the page navigation bar.
  3. Enter the title of the policy.
  4. Set the Applicability to define which employees this policy applies to.
  5. Add the policy content by uploading a file or entering text in the Policy Content editor.
  6. In the Settings section, choose whether to publish the policy immediately and whether employees are required to acknowledge it.
  7. Click Save to add the policy.

Post-creation actions

  • Once saved, your policy instantly appears in the All Policies list.
  • From here, you can:
    • Edit, Delete, or (Un)Publish the policy via the Actions column.
    • Select multiple policies and perform bulk actions using the dropdown at the top-right.

Note: Published policies are visible to employees at Main Panel → Policies and on the HRStop mobile app.
