    HR Document Management Features

    Secure Employee File Repository

    Keep contracts, payroll documents, performance reviews, disciplinary records and other personnel files in one structured repository. Organise documents throughout the employee lifecycle instead of relying on scattered folders and paper archives.

    Granular Access Permissions

    Give HR managers, payroll staff and department heads the access their work requires. Control who can view, edit, download or approve confidential employee documents. Advanced granular permissions are available with Tailor.

    Fast Search with Metadata and OCR

    Search employee files by name, department, role, start date or custom metadata. OCR makes the contents of scanned HR documents searchable, including older paper records you have digitised.

    Onboarding Document Management

    Organise offer letters, employment agreements, NDAs, equipment handover forms and onboarding checklists. Keep preparation, approval, signing and storage connected in a structured document process.

    Approval and Acknowledgement Workflows

    Send policies and HR documents to the right people for approval or acknowledgement. Track completion, and use more advanced workflows when your process needs multiple stages.

    Retention Rules and Audit Trails

    Apply retention rules to HR records and review document activity in the audit trail. Support your organisation’s recordkeeping policies with clearer control over document access and retention.

    Version Control for HR Documents

    Keep a version history for employee documents, policies and HR templates. Find earlier versions when needed and help teams work from the current document.

    Easy HR Digitization

    One secure system for employee records

    A human resources document management system gives your team one structured home for employee records, onboarding forms, payroll-related documents, contracts, performance reviews and disciplinary records.

    In Folderit, organise personnel files throughout onboarding, active employment and offboarding. Set access for the people who need each file, keeping confidential employee information separate from documents that can be shared more widely.

    Find records by employee name, department, document type or custom metadata. OCR also makes scanned PDFs and digitised paper records searchable, so older employee files remain useful without a manual search through the archive.

    For structured employee records created from forms, as shown in the header, choose Tailor with eForms and custom records. Compare plans and included features.

    Alt Text Folderit automated acknowledgement workflow for HR policies, configured as active, parallel, and assigned to the Employees group.
    Onboarding, policies, and HR workflows

    Structured onboarding and policy workflows

    Bring offer letters, employment contracts, NDAs, equipment handover forms and onboarding checklists into a consistent document process. Keep each step visible, from preparation and review to signing and final storage.

    Route HR documents to the right people for approval or acknowledgement. When policies change, collect employee confirmations and keep a record of completion rather than chasing replies across email threads.

    Standardise how documents are named, shared, approved and archived, then retain signed or acknowledged documents in the appropriate employee file. Use simple workflows in Medium or configure more advanced processes with Tailor’s Workflow Designer.

    Compliance, retention, audit trail, and fast HR search

    Employee files can contain personal data, payroll and benefits documents, contracts, medical information and disciplinary records. Folderit helps HR teams manage these confidential records in a controlled repository with access management, encryption, version history and audit trails.

    Review document activity to see who viewed, changed, approved or signed a file. Use retention rules to support your organisation’s recordkeeping policies, with different retention periods where your document categories require them. Automated retention is available in Medium and Tailor.

    Search by employee name, role, department, date or document type. Metadata keeps records structured, while OCR helps you retrieve information from scanned documents and older paper archives.

    These controls support your HR compliance processes; your organisation remains responsible for setting appropriate permissions, retention periods and procedures for its requirements.
