This article describes how you can upload a single document (or multiple documents one by one) directly to your employees’ Personio accounts.
Upload a single document
-
-
- Go to the employee profile you want to upload a document to. Go to Documents > Upload.
- Add the document by uploading the desired file or simply drag and drop it into the window.
- Enter a name and select the category for the document. You also have the option to add a date and a comment if you want. Click Upload to complete the process.
- Personio will then run a virus scan on the document and a 🔄 icon will appear. If the document is secure, it will be available for download. If the document is deemed as not secure, a ⚠️ icon will appear and you will only be able to delete it.
- Go to the employee profile you want to upload a document to. Go to Documents > Upload.
Alternatively, your IT department can create an API integration that will automatically upload a document to the respective employee profile. They will find all the technical documentation in our Developer Hub.
