Shiftbase offers employees and managers the possibility of adding files to their personal profile. For example, it is possible to store a contract, project plans, ID card, driving licence or passport. Also, sick certificates can be uploaded here and be looked into by planners and managers.

Shiftbase also allows you to add notes to your employees to keep track of certain information, that only you as a manager are supposed to see and edit.
