Management notes | HR Employee File

Overview

Within your organisation, you would have employees that will need confidential notes added to their personnel record. These can range from performance issues their manager noticed right through to information on the employees' progress on their current project. Having a secure place to leave this information will enable managers, admins and/or owners to communicate information between themselves discreetly, without employees viewing this information.

The Management Notes feature allows you to add this information via a free text field to an employee's file, with no limit on the amount of notes you can add to their record. You can also use this feature to edit any information if it changes and delete a record if it is no longer required.

Important

If the employee's manager changes, the new manager will see the previous notes left on the employee’s file.

So you have now written a management note and you are now wondering what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:

HR Employee File: Leave Requests This feature within the Employee File module allows you to view all the leave requests associated with a specific employee.
HR Employee File: Performance Reviews This feature within the Employee File module allows you to see the performance review details associated with a specific employee.
