Filing

A document uploaded is a document filed

The filing rule does the work. You no longer search for the shared folder holding the latest version of an amendment.

Two ways to look

Folder view for a structured organisation, table view for a quick overall picture. You choose according to what you are looking for.

  • Folder view and table view
  • Automatic filing rules
  • Attachments as list columns

View without downloading

Contracts, amendments and leaving letters open in preview. No more files piling up in everyone’s downloads.

  • Direct document preview
  • Attachment preview in approval screens
  • Access controlled by profile

Send and get it signed

From the employee record, a document goes out with a read receipt or a signature request, and its status stays tracked.

  • Sending from the employee record
  • Read receipt or signature request
  • Access log on public links
The three spaces

The company, the employee, and what you produce

A document space is not limited to the personnel file.

Company documents

Agreements, internal rules, staff memos: your company has its own storage space, just like each employee. A useful complement to mandatory workplace notices.

  • Storage space dedicated to the company
  • Read receipts requested from recipients
  • Complement to mandatory notices

The employee file

Each employee finds their personal documents in their space, from their computer or the mobile app. Payslips uploaded by your payroll administrator are made available there every month.

  • Personal documents accessible at any time
  • Payslips distributed to the file, with notification
  • Download of everything when leaving

The documents you produce

Starting from custom templates, drafting HR documents becomes automatic: certificates, contracts, amendments. The document then goes out for electronic signature.

  • Custom document templates
  • Automated drafting of everyday documents
  • Sending for electronic signature
Compliance

What you must be able to prove, and what you must be able to erase

Both requirements coexist. Configuration by document type lets you meet them together.

Anonymisation by document type

For each document type, you define whether it can be anonymised or not. Your retention obligations and your erasure obligations do not apply to the same documents: the setting is made at the right level, not globally.

Documents remain hosted in France.

Frequently asked questions

More about document management

Can a document be sent for signature from Nicoka HRIS?
Yes, from the employee record. You choose between a simple read receipt and a signature request, and you track the status of each item sent.
Are documents filed automatically?
A filing rule can be configured by document type, including for attachments to a training course or a certification. The document lands in the right place in the file with no manual handling.
How do you know who viewed a shared document?
Public links have an access log. You know who opened the document and when.

HR documents: the real issue is not storing them, it is finding them

Everyone already stores their HR documents somewhere. The problem appears the day you have to produce the amendment signed in 2022, prove that a certificate was actually sent, or erase a former employee’s documents without touching what must be kept. That is when you measure the difference between a shared folder and document management.

Automatic filing, or filing that never gets done

A misfiled document is a lost document. Rather than relying on everyone’s discipline, a filing rule can be configured by document type: the contract, the amendment, the absence supporting document or the attachment to a certification land in the right place in the file with no manual handling.

Two display modes coexist: folder view for a structured organisation and table view for a quick overall picture. Attachments are also available as list columns, so you do not have to open each record to know what it contains.

View without downloading

Every download creates a copy that escapes the system and ages in someone’s local folder. Contracts, amendments and leaving letters open in direct preview, and supporting documents are shown as previews in the absence approval screens.

Fewer copies in circulation means fewer contradictory versions and a reduced risk on documents that contain personal data.

Prove it was sent, and know who read it

Sending a document and being able to prove it are two different things. From the employee record, a document goes out with a read receipt or a signature request, and its status stays tracked. Sharing links have an access log.

Anonymisation is configured by document type, which lets you meet opposing obligations: keep what must be proven, erase what must be erased. Data remains hosted in France. See also security and compliance page.

Key takeaways

  • A filing rule by document type replaces individual discipline.
  • Preview avoids the multiplication of local copies.
  • Read receipts, signature requests and the access log provide the proof.
  • Anonymisation is set by type, not globally.
  • Documents remain hosted in France and are never used for commercial purposes.

Nicoka HRIS is developed and hosted in France, serving more than 250 customers in 30 countries, with 6,800 employees managed. To go further: the HR foundation, employee data, security page.
