It’s important to ensure that each employee record is maintained with up-to-date HR documentation on their employment history. This will keep the management team appropriately informed on all staff matters when managing employees throughout the employee-lifecycle.

The most important thing to note when uploading documents to an Employee Record is the Document Type. This will categorise the document you are uploading which can assist with reporting. It will also determine whether other management Users have the appropriate Access Roles to see that document type and whether employees can view it in eSS.

You can choose whether to upload your documents directly onto your employee's record individually or in bulk. You also have the option to use 2 different importers to upload your documents to your employee's records, which importer you use will depend on a couple of factors.
