The personnel file contains an overview of all information about an employee
The employee personnel file is the basis for personnel work, and only the HR Management can see it as a part of the Employees Organizer or by the employees supervisor for his/her team. It contains all the essential information you keep about the employee. It also includes any enrolment and other onboarding or development activities for that particular employee. The file gives you an overview of the employee's information with easy and intuitive editing of their personal details, information and lists of contracts, terms, and assets.
- Each employee then sees their information in employee self-service on their "About Me" page.
