Employee records in BYTE: one file for each person

Keep each employee's details, ID documents and expiry dates in one record. Set the document types your company uses, and bring existing staff in from a spreadsheet instead of typing them one by one.

What it covers

  • A master record for each employee: name, job title, branch, employee number and status.
  • ID documents on the record: the number, the expiry date and a scanned copy.
  • Document types that your company sets, so the list matches your own paperwork.
  • Import from a spreadsheet, then update the records as staff details change.

How it works

  1. Create the employee record once, with its employee number.
  2. Attach each ID document with its number, expiry date and scanned copy.
  3. Choose the document types your company uses for each kind of paper.
  4. Import the existing staff list from a spreadsheet, then keep the records up to date.

  • Ask who can open ID scans, and who can see salary details.
