Employees confirm each policy update with a typed name and date, giving HR a traceable sign-off log — record-keeping, not legally binding signatures.
Quick answer
'I never saw that update' needs an answer — bind each acknowledgement to the file version and effective date, one typed name and date per employee, with outstanding reminders and a searchable register (receipt evidence, not a legal e-signature claim).
"Nobody told me about that policy" is the sentence acknowledgement records exist to answer. This form ties every confirmation to a specific document version and effective date, collects a typed name and date from each employee, and leaves HR a searchable log of who acknowledged what when — plus a view of who still owes a sign-off. Treat the record as proof of receipt and internal record-keeping; documents that must meet e-signature law need guidance from your counsel.
