Toast Payroll: Employee Access to New Hire Documents

Last updated: Oct 20, 2026, 5:23 PM

Question

Are required documents from the new hire module automatically saved to the employees' document library?

Answer

Any new hire required documents will only be displayed in the employee's Document Library if the document requires an e-signature. If the document does not require an e-signature, the document will be marked as completed from the New Hire dashboard once the employee has opened the document, but the document will not be saved directly to the employee's profile. 


If the employee should have continued access to the document, it can be added as a company document in Toast Payroll.

 

  1. Log into Toast Payroll.
  2. Navigate to Documents > Add New Document.
    1. If you do not see Documents on the left side of the screen, select Payroll from the Toast Web navigation rail on the left to make the Toast Payroll navigation rail appear.
  3. Make sure to check the box for Display In Company Documents when adding here. You have the option to make this document accessible by security role or position. 

 

Otherwise, you can add a document to a single employee's profile by following the steps in Toast Payroll: Upload a File Into an Employee's Document Library.
