What to Include
This simple form should explain that permission is being granted to the employer and any designated agents (photographers, etc.) to take pictures of the employee, and that these photos may be used at will by the employer.
The form should include:
- The name of the employee
- The name of the company
- The signatures of the employee and a witness, and dates of signature
How to Use an Employee Photo Release Form (4 steps)
4. Secure signatures
Determine who will serve as a witness and present the forms for signature. Remember that permission is given voluntarily , so be sure to honor employees who choose not to sign the release.
While many workplaces prepare releases on an as-needed basis, you may also choose to have employees sign these preemptively – perhaps at the time of hire – to cover any future occasions for photography.
