Todo lists

Todo lists are how Work Tyme takes care of on-boarding for employees. You set up todo list templates for each department in your company and then these are applied to the respective employees.

The first step in creating your tdo list templates is to upload any documents that will be required for your employees to read and/or sign off on

Manage documents

To add documents to your Work Tyme account that can be utilized for todo lists click on the menu item labeled “Administration”, then the option labeled “Todo lists” and finally “Files”. The “Administration” menu is only visible to the admins in your account (see user types for more information).
