The **Sign Startwork Documents** step is where you fill in and sign the startwork documents your production has set up for you. It's your last onboarding step. Open it with **Sign Documents** on the **Onboarding Steps** card in **Payroll > My Timesheet** or **Payroll > My Profile**, or from the onboarding banner at the top of the app. {% hint style="info" %} This step appears if RollCredits payroll is turned on for your production. If your company uses step-by-step signing, each document opens in steps: **Fill**, **Review** and **Sign**. Otherwise, it opens as a PDF that you fill in and sign on the page. {% endhint %} ## Choose a document With step-by-step signing, the **Documents Awaiting Signature (n)** list at the top counts the documents that still need your signature, with a button for each document. * The first document waiting for you opens on its own. * A document you've signed shows a check mark and can't be opened here. * To switch, select another document that's still waiting. What you've entered on the current one isn't kept. * Documents that only the production signs are greyed out. ## Fill, review and sign a document 1. On **Fill**, fill in the document's fields. Required fields are marked with an asterisk, and a required checkbox must be ticked. Select **Continue**. 2. On **Review**, check the filled-in document. It shows your answers and the details RollCredits fills in, such as your name, job title and the production's details. Your signature isn't on it yet. Select **Continue**. 3. On **Sign**, type your initials in **Worker Initials**, if the document asks for them. 4. Under **Worker Signature**, select **Add**, draw your signature in the window that opens, then select **Save Signature**. 5. Select **Submit**. The next document waiting for you then opens. To go back a step, select **Back**. What you've entered is kept. * If a document has nothing for you to fill in, it opens on **Review** and has no Fill step. * **Continue** stays greyed out until the required fields are filled in, and on Review until the document has loaded. * On Review, once the document loads, two icons at the top right let you save a copy (**Download**) or see it larger (**Expand**). * Initials can be up to 10 characters and appear in capital letters. * In the signature window, **Clear Signature** starts over and **Cancel** closes it without saving. Afterwards, **Update** redraws your signature and **Clear** removes it. * If a document has no signatures for you, the Sign step says "This document has no signatures to capture — submit to finish." * **Submit** stays greyed out until every required field, initials box and signature is done. The document name, the steps and those icons stay at the top while you scroll. On a phone, you sign with your finger, and **Download** opens the document in a new tab, where you can save it from your browser. On a computer, it saves a PDF. ## Sign on the PDF Without step-by-step signing, your documents open one at a time as a PDF, with your details already filled in. 1. Fill in any text boxes and checkboxes on the document. 2. Select each signature and initials box on the document, and add your signature or initials. 3. Select **Save & Continue**. On a phone, the button sits in a bar at the bottom of the screen. **Save & Continue** stays greyed out until every signature and initials box is signed. The next document then opens. ## If something goes wrong * "We couldn't load this document for signing. Please try again.": select **Retry**. * "We couldn't render the document for review. Please try again.": select **Retry** on the Review step. * "Some required fields are missing. Please review and try again.": select **Back**, check the fields marked with an asterisk, then come back and select **Submit** again. * "This document has already been signed.": reload the page to see which documents are still waiting. * "Failed to sign document": select **Submit** or **Save & Continue** again. * **Unable to Load Data**: follow the message on the page, or select **Go Back** and open the step again. ## When you're done When every document has your signature, you see "All your startwork documents have been signed!" and your **Sign Startwork Documents** step is done. RollCredits then takes you back to the page you started from. If you're still on the page, select **Return to timesheet**. ## After you sign Some documents also need the production's signature. An Owner, Super Admin or Manager signs them after you. * On your profile, the document shows **Needs Approver Sig.** until then, and **Completed** once the production signs. * You can fill out timesheets in the meantime, but a timesheet can't be approved until the production has signed. See [Finish your payroll onboarding](/payroll/get-started.md). ## See or redo your signed documents Your startwork documents are on the **Startwork** tab under **Documents** in **Payroll > My Profile**. There you can open a signed document with **View File**, **Reject** one to clear it and sign it again, or select **Reset Startwork Documents** to clear them all. See [View your payroll documents](/payroll/crew-profile/crew-profile-documents.md). {% hint style="warning" %} Rejecting or resetting clears all signatures, including the production's, and what you entered. You have to sign again before you can fill out timesheets. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://knowledge.rollcredits.io/payroll/get-started/startwork.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
