Getting started with QuoteCloud

Policy packs from your library, signed off by the client

Policies and handbooks assembled from approved blocks, tailored where it matters, commented on and signed off in one document.

With QuoteCloud an HR provider builds each client's policy pack from its content library, locks the wording it stands behind, tailors the rest, and sends the pack for comments and sign-off. Content libraries are on Essentials and up; content locking is on Business. QuoteCloud doesn't check policies against any law.

Last reviewed by the QuoteCloud team

A policy and handbook pack from a fictional business, Ashgrove People & Payroll, for Halcyon Robotics, shown as three sheets behind index tabs that take turns at the front. Cover: "Your people policies & handbook", sent for sign-off. Contents: a staff handbook and seven policies, each marked From library, Tailored or New, four of them locked blocks. Sign-off: signed off by Tomas Rey, co-founder and COO, on Thu 22 Oct 2026, eight policies plus the handbook, two comments resolved.

Your policy library becomes the client's pack

Saffron builds Halcyon's pack by dragging approved policies from Ashgrove's company content library into the document. The wording Ashgrove stands behind arrives locked; the rest is tailored for a 42-person robotics start-up.

  • One library, every client

    Company content the whole team uses, in folders, with access and edit rights set by role.

    Content libraries: Essentials and up

  • Approved wording stays approved

    Locked company blocks can be dragged into a pack but not edited in it; permitted people unlock them in the library.

    Content locking: Business

  • Tailoring where it belongs

    Leave, hybrid work and the handbook are edited for the client; new policies are written in the document.

The client reads it, comments, then signs off

Tomas gets one link instead of nine attachments. He reads the pack in the browser and asks in a comment whether the on-call policy can cover the weekend lab rota. Rafael answers in the thread and updates the tailored section; the locked policies don't move.

When both comments are resolved Tomas signs off the pack. The signature records that Halcyon accepted these documents, with a certificate of authenticity; it is not a compliance certificate, and QuoteCloud doesn't check any policy against your local employment obligations. That judgement stays with your consultants.

Notes on your pack

  • Locked policies keep the wording we stand behind; ask us in a comment if something doesn't fit how you work.
  • Tailored sections are written for Halcyon: comment on any line you want changed before you sign off.
  • Once you sign off, we'll send the staff handbook for your team to acknowledge as part of onboarding.

Tomas ReyCan the on-call policy cover our weekend lab rota as well as field service?

Rafael KostaYes: we've added the lab rota to section 2 of the overtime & on-call policy. Have a look before you sign off.

What HR firms put in a policy pack

The same document handles a start-up's first handbook and a fifty-site employer's yearly policy refresh.

  • Core policies

    Conduct, harassment, conflicts and safety from your library, locked so old wording can't creep back in.

  • Tailored policies

    Leave, hybrid work and overtime adapted to the client's rosters, sites and ways of working.

  • A staff handbook

    The welcome, ways of working and who to ask, built from a handbook base and the client's own details.

  • Questions to answer first

    A Forms block inside the pack can ask the client for the details you need before tailoring, such as office days. Essentials and up.

  • Starting templates

    QuoteCloud's leave, harassment and hybrid work policy templates, adapted into your own library.

  • A priced add-on

    Policy and handbook upkeep can sit in your payroll proposal as an optional monthly line the client ticks.

Next year's update is a revision, not a rebuild

When Halcyon passes 60 people or opens a second office, Rafael revises last year's pack instead of starting again: the tailored sections change, the locked policies come across as they are, and Tomas signs off the new version.

On Business, version history shows what changed between versions, and the signed version stays with its certificate of authenticity. Give the signed pack an expiry date and it shows in the Expiring Soon filter as its yearly review approaches (Essentials and up).

  • Revise the last version
  • Version history: Business plan
  • A new sign-off for each version

Policy pack questions

Can we reuse the same policies for every client?

Yes. Save each approved policy to your company content library and drag it into any client's pack. Content libraries are on Essentials and up, with folders, search and role-based access. On Business, lock the policies that must not change so they can be used in a document but not edited there.

Does QuoteCloud check our policies against employment law?

No. QuoteCloud holds, assembles and sends the policies you write and records the client's sign-off. Whether a policy meets your client's local employment obligations is your consultants' judgement. The sign-off records acceptance of the documents, not compliance.

Can the client ask for changes before signing off?

Yes. The client can comment on the pack and your consultant replies in the thread and updates the tailored sections. Comments are confirmed; simultaneous real-time editing by several people is not something we claim. When the comments are resolved, the client signs off with a certificate of authenticity.

How do we handle a policy update next year?

Revise last year's pack instead of rebuilding it: change the tailored sections, keep the locked policies, and send the new version for sign-off. Version history, which shows what changed between versions, is on the Business plan, as is content locking.

Can we charge for policy packs?

Yes. Put a price table in the pack for a one-off fee and take a payment on signing through Stripe or PayPal (Essentials and up), or add policy upkeep as an optional monthly line in your payroll proposal. Monthly charges are shown in the document and invoiced by you; QuoteCloud doesn't bill them.
