Acknowledge Documents

From time to time your employer will upload documents — such as contracts and confidentiality agreements — to the ESS portal and require that you acknowledge you received them. You'll receive an automated email stating that such a document has been uploaded, and you'll need to acknowledge receipt through ESS.

You'll also see a list of documents needing acknowledgment in the My Documents grid on the dashboard when you first login to the portal. You can acknowledge documents directly from the dashboard or from the My Documents window.
