Uploading employee documents in bulk refers to the process of adding or updating a large number of employee documents to a system all at once. This feature can be useful for organizations with a large number of employees, as it allows employers to quickly and easily upload important documents for multiple employees at once.

The Bulk Document Upload page in the greytHR Admin portal allows you to upload employees’ documents in bulk. The feature helps you to save time in uploading documents for each employee. You can simply zip all the documents under each category and upload them in bulk with a few simple steps. This feature helps reduce human errors and makes the process more efficient.

The page displays the information on the employee documents uploaded earlier, such as Document name, Category, Pending documents, Total Files, and Status of the documents.

To view the Bulk Document Upload page, navigate to Employee > Admin > Bulk Document Upload.

You can perform the following actions on the Bulk Document Upload page:

Upload documents in bulk.
Provide sign-off for uploaded documents.
Publish/Unpublish employee documents.
