Admins can upload and store documents in an employee's profile. Once a document is uploaded, you and your employee will be able to see and access it moving forward. Customers on our Plus and Premium plans also have access to our Custom Documents feature—upgrade your plan at any time.
Employees can also upload documents to their account.
