What are Archived Notices and How to Archive Compliance Notices

Archived Notices are compliance notices you have moved off Active Notices so you can keep prior versions and employee acknowledgement history while you roll out an updated notice. For example, when your employee handbook changes, archive last year’s notice, then add the new version under Active Notices.

Employers and Compliance Feature Admins can archive and reactivate notices when Compliance is enabled for the organization. Archiving and Make Active require Compliance Premium (or another paid Compliance tier). On Compliance Free, the notice row menu shows Archive (Premium) or Make Active (Premium) and opens the Compliance Premium upgrade path instead of completing the action.

Archiving does not delete the notice or wipe employee view and signature history. The notice moves to Archived Notices, and you can return it to Active Notices with Make Active.

To archive a notice:
  1. Select Compliance in the top navigation menu.
  2. Select Active Notices in the secondary navigation.
  3. In the notice’s row, hover over the gear icon and select Archive.
  4. In the Archive Notice dialog, select Archive to confirm (or Cancel to leave the notice active).
  5. Open Archived Notices in the secondary navigation to find the archived notice.
After you archive an outdated notice, add the replacement under Active Notices. See How to Add a New Compliance Notice.

To make an archived notice active again:
  1. Select Compliance in the top navigation menu.
  2. Select Archived Notices in the secondary navigation.
  3. In the notice’s row, hover over the gear icon and select Make Active.
  4. In the Make Notice Active dialog, select Make Active to confirm (or Cancel to leave the notice archived).
  5. The notice returns to Active Notices.
