You can create any type of HR letter for any employee using templates.

What is a template?

A template consists of two types of information i.e., fixed and variable information.

Fixed information: Let us take the example of a salary increment document. The salary increment letter could have the same pattern of text E.g., 'Thank you for all your contribution and the company really appreciates the effort.' This text is applicable to all your employees.

Variable information: The only changes that would be required are names, increment amount, etc. and that varies for each employee. In this case, Asanify provides placeholders for the information that varies. These placeholders will automatically get updated with the variable information when you choose the employee for whom you wish to generate a document.

You may create templates for any document (E.g., Experience letter, salary increment letter, internship completion letter, etc.) and use the document's template which contains placeholders for the employees.

After you create any employees' document on Asanify, you and your employees will be able to access and download the document via Asanify itself.

You may create a template in either of the following ways. You may type the content/upload a word doc of the template/download Asanify's default set of templates and use them.

Here is a step-by-step guide.
