Overview of the Documents tab

Under the tab Documents, you will find all the documents related to the employee. These could include documents such as a contract, contract appendices, criminal records, etc.

How to add a document

Once you are under the tab Documents, you have different options. You can upload an existing document to the employee’s data card or generate a new one.

To upload a new document, click  Add file or folder, then New file. Then, upload your document. Once you have uploaded your document, click  No type next to the document name, and select a fitting type. You can define your document types by heading to the main menu and choosing Document -> Document type. Learn more about document types here: Document types.

If relevant, you can add an expiration date to the document. Once it expires, the document will not be deleted but simply marked as expired.

Under Responsible Employees, you can find the employee or employees responsible for the document. For example, the immediate manager could be responsible for ensuring that the required certificates are still valid for the employee in question.

To complete the action, click on Save and close. The document is now saved onto the employee's data card.

How to generate a document

You can create a document based on your HR-ON Staff account template.

To do so, click on Add file or folder and then click on Generate document. Then choose a template from the list. When you do this, an editing window will appear. Here you can add information in the various fields on the right side of the screen. As you fill out the fields, the document automatically updates.

If you wish to edit the template text, you can do so by clicking on Edit template, which you will find above the document. Your changes will only be saved to the document you edit, not the original template. You can edit the original template or add a new one by clicking on the menu option Documents -> Document templates. Learn more about document templates here: Document templates.

To complete the action, click Add to documents, or Send to digital signature, or Send to electronic signature if the document requires a signature. Learn more about digital signatures below.

Sign a document with a digital signature.

If you wish to sign a document using Danish “MitID” digitally, simply click  Send to digital signature. This will open a window with four tabs.

To add the employees, you need to sign the document and click on Choose employees. A drop-down list of the employees will then appear. You can add an external signee by typing in this person's name and email.

You can define the order in which you want people to sign the document by activating the slider Use custom sign order for the signees. This allows you to move the signees up or down depending on the order you want them to sign. This way, you can ensure that the employee will not receive the document until it has been signed by the manager/managers.

If a third party needs to receive a copy of the document, you can add a recipient by clicking the tab Recipients.

To forward the digital signature request, go to Finalize. You can change the wording of the email that the parties will receive. Complete the task by clicking Save.

Sign a document with an electronic signature.

If you want the document to be signed electronically, click Send for electronic signature. Choose Signatories to select who should sign the document. Click on Select employees to see a drop-down list of employees.

You can define the order in which you want people to sign the document by clicking  Notify users according to the specified order.

You can add a reminder for the signees if you want to remind them to sign the documents.

Complete the task by clicking Save and close.
