In order to view documents that are personal to the employee or are company documents that they are able to view,you will need to follow the pathway: Profile > More > Documents.

As you can see there are then two separate tabs:

My Documents

To add a document to the employee's profile go to Profile > More > Documents > click +

Fill out the title, choose the file to upload, decide if you want the employee to see this document. If you mark visible to employee, the employee will be able to view this information from their documents tab. If this is not ticked it will only be visible to HR users and line managers if their permissions permit.

You can also allow the ability for an employee to acknowledge a document by marking it as read and understood.

Once you have filled out the relevant fields click  'add document'

You can then download, edit or delete the document by using the icons on the right hand side of the record. PDF documents that are downloaded will open in a new browser tab.

An email will be sent to the person informing them that a document has been added if you select visible to employee and then set the read requirement to 'Yes'

Company Documents

These are documents added under the Company tab in the main blue bar that runs across the top of the account

Company documents added here are able to have a read requirement set, which will also send an email notification, If you wish to notify the whole company, specific departments or people you are able to do this from the audience select area.
