|---|---|---|---|
| Intake | Captures the request and the source. | HR owner confirms the policy. | Record is complete. |

Example pilot board
Use small numbers for the first review
Distribute the policy
Send the policy through the approved system with the effective date and a short summary. Link to the full policy.
Provide an accessible version and an alternative for an employee who cannot use the portal.
The coordinator should document the next action for A simple process for policy distribution, acknowledgment, and follow-up that respects the employee and the record., the owner, and the date. A case without a next action will sit in the queue.
Use the approved HR system for A simple process for policy distribution, acknowledgment, and follow-up that respects the employee and the record.. Do not copy employee documents into a chat, a personal drive, or an unapproved spreadsheet.
Track the acknowledgment
Record the date sent, the date acknowledged, and the reminders. Do not count an email open as an acknowledgment.
For a new policy, give a reasonable window. For a critical policy, follow the HR escalation rule.

Authority and evidence
For A simple process for policy distribution, acknowledgment, and follow-up that respects the employee and the record., name the HR owner before the coordinator acts. The coordinator may collect, compare, and route evidence, but the HR owner decides eligibility, policy, and the employee outcome.
Record the source, version, and date for each field in A simple process for policy distribution, acknowledgment, and follow-up that respects the employee and the record.. An employee statement, a manager note, and an HR system value are different sources and should remain labeled.
Separate preparation from decision. A complete file, a drafted message, or a proposed correction is not approval. The record should show who decided and when.
Copy-ready scripts
Make the stop points easy to say
Intake"I have recorded your request and the documents you provided. The HR owner will review the policy and respond by the date on your confirmation."
Close"The change has been recorded and verified in the HR system. Please check the employee portal and tell us if anything is incorrect."
Adverse cases
Test A simple process for policy distribution, acknowledgment, and follow-up that respects the employee and the record. with a missing document, a conflicting record, an expired policy, an unavailable owner, and a request outside the lane. The test should show whether the coordinator stops.
Preserve the employee's original request and the correction. Do not overwrite the earlier value or hide the failed attempt.
If the case involves identity, medical information, pay, safety, or legal rights, route it to the HR owner and keep the file in the approved system.
