Task Option: All Employees

Question

We create tasks for our employees, and sometimes a task applies to everyone. However, when one employee completes the task, it is marked as completed for the entire group.

Would it be possible to create a group task for all employees while still requiring each employee to individually mark the task as complete? This would allow us to confirm that every employee has read and completed the task without having to create a separate task for each person.

This is a huge pain point for team accountability! Right now in Jobber, tasks assigned to multiple users act as a single shared item. As soon as one person checks it off, Jobber considers the task done for the entire team.
​While there isn't a native toggle for "require individual sign-off" on a single group task yet, here are the best workarounds current Jobber users use to handle this:

​Mass-Duplicating the Task: The most reliable way inside Jobber today is to create the master task, then quickly duplicate it and assign one copy to each employee. It takes an extra minute upfront, but it gives you a clean checklist in your reports to see exactly who completed it and who hasn't.
​Forms &amp; Checklists: For recurring or critical procedures (like safety checks or end-of-day protocols), attach a Jobber Form or customized checklist. While the main task still completes, requiring individual form submissions gives you an audit trail.
​Internal One-to-Many Communication: For company-wide updates where you just need to confirm everyone read it, some pros use an external team chat tool (like Slack or WhatsApp) with message reactions, reserving Jobber tasks specifically for billable/job-related labor.
