# Employee & Contractor Management

> Add employees and contractors, track attendance, approve leave, set contractor rate cards, and store private employment documents on each profile.

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Add team members from HRMS → Employees → Add Employee.</p>
<h3>Highlights</h3>

<ul>
  <li>
    Fill in personal details, role, department, start date, employment type, and hourly rate or
    salary (used in project cost calculations).
  </li>

  <li>An invite email is sent automatically.</li>

  <li>
    For leave management, employees submit requests from HRMS → Leave → New Request (select leave
    type, start/end dates, reason); managers review and approve or decline from HRMS → Leave →
    Pending Approvals.
  </li>

  <li>
    Attendance is logged automatically when employees start/stop work timers; admins can manually
    override via HRMS → Attendance.
  </li>

  <li>
    For contractors with client-specific billing rates, open the contractor's profile and click the
    Rate Cards tab to add rates for specific clients.
  </li>

  <li>Time entries for that contractor on those projects automatically use the rate card rate.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Documents</h3>

<p>
  Store employment paperwork — resumes, offer letters, NDAs, contracts, certificates, and other
  files — against each person's profile from HRMS → Employees → open a profile → Documents tab.
</p>

<ul>
  <li>
    Admins and HR can upload, download, and delete documents on any employee or contractor profile;
    team members see the same controls on their own profile.
  </li>

  <li>
    Pick a category from the dropdown before uploading — files are grouped by category on the tab.
  </li>

  <li>Each file is capped at 25 MB; select multiple files at once to upload them in a batch.</li>

  <li>
    Files are private. They are stored in a private bucket and served via short-lived signed
    download URLs, so links cannot be shared outside the app.
  </li>

  <li>
    Only admins, HR, and the employee themselves can see the tab; managers and other teammates
    cannot.
  </li>
</ul>
