Managing employee documents and files
The employee documents system
Every employee in Dapplon has a dedicated Documents tab on their profile. This serves as a secure, searchable repository for all files related to that employee — from their initial offer letter to their relieving letter and everything in between.
Documents are only accessible to:
- HR admins and managers with document view permission
- The employee themselves (only their own documents, and only those explicitly shared with them)
Document types
Dapplon organises documents into categories:
Identity — Aadhaar, PAN card, passport, driving licence
Employment — offer letter, appointment letter, employment contract, NDA
Payroll — payslips (auto-added by the payroll module), Form 16, salary revision letters
Educational — degree certificates, transcripts, professional certifications
Exit — resignation letter, acceptance of resignation, experience letter, relieving letter
Custom — any other file you want to keep on record
