Keeping employee records on paper costs more than you think

It’s not just about the office space taken up. What’s at stake is legal compliance, data security, and your team's time in their daily work.

time

Weeks instead of minutes

When an employee requests a certificate, your HR department has to search the archives, print, sign, and send it. Each request takes hours of work — and with hundreds of employees, those hours turn into weeks over the course of a year.

risk

A labor inspection without the stress? Only with complete documentation

An incomplete personnel file means administrative penalties. A misplaced annex, a missing GDPR clause, expired medical exams, or a missing employment certificate — in a paper archive, human error is only a matter of time. Alerts about missing documents are essential to avoiding fines.

H&S

An employee without valid medical clearance = a violation of Article 229 of the Labor Code.

Manually tracking medical exam deadlines and H&S training for hundreds of employees is practically impossible. A single oversight exposes management to criminal liability and prevents the employee from being cleared for work.

Hidden HR costs grow with every new hire and long-term archiving. Printing, shipping, filing, and overtime during audits — these are costs that don't appear as a single line item in your budget, but they add up to significant amounts annually.

Personal data in paper files is a GDPR risk. Physical files can fall into the wrong hands. A leak of health or financial data isn't just a fine — it’s a loss of employee trust and damage to your reputation as an employer.

With many employees and distributed locations, a hybrid document workflow becomes an operational trap. Paper + email + Excel = an HR department that can't keep up with company growth and loses control over the process.

e-File – a paperless version of employee documentation

The e-file is an electronic employee folder that allows you to securely store and manage HR documentation in digital form. By automating HR processes, providing quick access to documents, and ensuring compliance with regulations, organizations can reduce costs, increase efficiency, and eliminate paper archives.

ArchiDoc e-File

The ArchiDoc e-file allows you to manage all employee documentation in one place: from personnel files and HR documents to internal HR processes. This ensures all information is available digitally, securely, and in compliance with current regulations.

Employee files vs. personnel files

Personnel files are a mandatory part of documentation required by labor law. An employee file is a broader concept: in addition to personnel files, it also includes other HR documentation such as time and attendance records, leave requests, training documents, and health and safety records.

Legal compliance

No more fear of audits

The system validates the completeness of every file—a folder cannot be closed until all required documents are added. Feeding HR systems with data that triggers alerts for medical exams and OHS training eliminates the risk of Labor Code violations.

Operational efficiency

From days to minutes

The Employee Self-Service module allows staff to submit requests for certificates online. With electronic documentation, you save time spent searching for paper files and can issue certificates with electronic signatures much faster.

Risk-free implementation

Pilot program before you sign

Don't just take our word for it. We run a pilot program using actual files you provide. We deliver the finished result—clear scans and data in the system—before you sign the final contract.

Choose the e-file option tailored to your organization

This is not just a cloud solution. It is a comprehensive HR digital transformation service: from the first box of paper employee records to a fully compliant and secure electronic documentation system.

What is an e-file?

Your journey from paper to digital files

We take 100% responsibility for the digitization process. You only need to be involved at two stages: the start and the final sign-off. The entire process takes 2 to 4 months and runs in parallel with your HR team's daily operations—with no downtime.

01

you

You schedule a pickup

You specify the location and date. We arrive, pack the documents into sealed boxes, and transport them to our operations center. You don't need to prepare anything.

02

archidoc

We digitize

We organize, scan, and index every document in a controlled environment. We verify completeness and quality—the file is not closed until everything is perfect.

03

ArchiDoc

Data is delivered to your system

We integrate the documentation with your HR system (SAP, TETA, or other) via API or SFTP. Documents are electronically signed and ready to use from day one.

04

you

Verify the results

You review the completed documentation in your system and compare it with the originals. You provide feedback, and we handle any adjustments. We only consider the stage complete once you have given your approval.

05

YOU + TEAM

You use digital files

Your documentation is available online—securely, quickly, and according to access permissions. Employees submit requests via ESS (Employee Self-Service), HR generates certificates in minutes, and the system tracks health and safety training and medical exam deadlines.

For every department

The decision to move to electronic personnel files impacts many areas of your business.

In most organizations, the decision to implement e-files involves multiple departments. Get answers tailored to each of them.

My team is drowning in paperwork. I don't have the time or the staff for digitization.

Have questions? 

We have the answers.

If you can't find the answer to your question, please contact us — we will respond within 24 hours.

How long does it take to implement an e-file system?

Implementation time depends on the number of files and the complexity of your documentation structure. For a company with 1,000–3,000 employees, a typical project takes 2 to 4 months. We carry it out in parallel with your HR team's daily operations, so there is no downtime. We provide a detailed schedule before the contract is signed.

Can we test the quality before making a decision?

Yes—that is our standard. We conduct a pilot program using actual personnel files of your choosing. We deliver the finished result: clear scans and indexed data in the system. You can evaluate the quality before we sign the final contract. Zero investment risk.

What about the security of my employees' personal data?

We work according to ISO 27001 standards and are fully GDPR compliant. Data is processed exclusively within the ArchiDoc infrastructure. Every one of our employees is bound by an NDA. Document transport is sealed and monitored. You have full access to an audit log, so you know exactly who has accessed every document. This provides a higher level of control than a traditional paper archive.

Will the system integrate with our HR software (SAP, TETA)?

Yes. We have documented experience with over 30 integrations, including SAP and TETA. Before starting the project, we provide a detailed technical recommendation tailored to your system architecture. We guarantee data accuracy and completeness from the first day after integration.

What if we have documents in different languages (e.g., for foreign employees)?

We handle multilingual documents, including those in Cyrillic and other non-Latin alphabets. We use hybrid technology (OCR + expert verification) that guarantees error-free recognition and indexing of every document, regardless of the language.

How does e-signing work for digitized documents?

We can sign documents electronically on behalf of your company's employees based on a power of attorney. We use any required type of signature, including qualified electronic signatures, qualified electronic employer seals, or simple electronic signatures. You do not need to involve your employees in this process. The result: complete, legally binding files ready for audit from the day the project is completed.

Do we need to involve our IT department in the implementation?

IT involvement is minimal and limited to the integration phase with your HR system. We prepare detailed technical documentation to facilitate project approval by your IT department. We have experience with the internal security procedures of large organizations—we know what questions your IT team will ask and have the answers ready.

What about costs and are there any hidden fees?

We believe in full transparency: you receive a clear price list and a contract with no hidden fees. All process assumptions and costs are defined and agreed upon by both parties before documents are signed. We can prepare an ROI calculation for you, showing how much you are losing on paper-based HR each month and how quickly the investment will pay off.

What are electronic employee documentation and electronic personnel files?

Electronic employee documentation is a digital way of maintaining personnel files and other HR records in accordance with Labor Code regulations. Electronic personnel files replace paper folders and provide access to digital records from anywhere. ArchiDoc's eTeczka is a comprehensive transformation service—from the first box of paper documents to a fully managed, legally compliant electronic documentation system.

Which companies is eTeczka for?

eTeczka is the perfect solution for companies looking to go paperless, reduce the time spent processing employee requests, prepare for audits and labor inspections, ensure GDPR compliance, and build a modern employer brand. It is particularly effective for organizations with distributed locations and large workforces.
