Employee Letters
Overview
Businesses generate employee letters for various formal communications, like compensation changes, awards letters, and performance reviews. Many of these letters need to include data stored in the HR system. For large organizations, creating custom letters manually for every employee becomes a time-consuming task.
Adobe Acrobat Services allows organizations to:
- Create standard branded templates for employee letters
- Merge employee data automatically into templates
- Protect documents from editing with a password
