Setup: Employees - HR Tasks

How to get there: Set Up | Employees | HR Tasks Tab

The HR Tasks Tab is used to store personal documents that are not widely available through the Employee Documents tab.

A Help Desk Task Type can be added to the Employee where the Task is a HR Task Type. These are generally setup as HR Information, Payroll Information, etc.
