Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt Template

A Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt Form is usually handed out to employees on behalf of the employer.

Alternate Names:

• Receipt Acknowledgment;
• Acknowledgment of Receipt Form.

It is used as confirmation that an employee has been notified and received documentation regarding certain necessary details which usually covers company rules, manual handbooks, any relevant agreements or payments. An employee must sign the form to confirm that they have received the document and are aware of any implications should a breach be found. Two copies of the document should be prepared, one for the employer and one for the employee.

The form should be as detailed as possible, not only outlining the name of the document but also covering a brief description and the importance of the document along with the date that this was given out. Ensure that employees sign this form as soon as they receive the document otherwise it may prove difficult to chase them up once some time has passed. If an employee breaches a certain rule, it will be much easier to prove your case as an employer and apply the relevant sanction if you have this form on hand. This prevents the employee from simply stating that they were never aware of such rules in place and that they were not informed.
