Employer Portal - Documents

The Documents utility allows users to upload, store and manage key employee and HR related documents securely in BrightPay Connect.

It can be used for example to upload employee documents such as individual contracts of employment, handbooks, appraisal documents, company pension information, company newsletters and disciplinary correspondence.
