# Give documents and tasks to an employee

_Skileo Human Resources › Employees · Who can do this: Business owner, Member_

On the employee's page, open the Documents or Tasks tab and click Add new. Pick documents or tasks already in Skileo and save. The employee then finds them in their own space.

## Give documents

The documents must already be in “Documents”. To add a new one, see [Add documents](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/add-documents).

1. Open the employee's page and click the “Documents” tab.
2. Click “Add new”. The window “Assign document” opens.
3. Pick one or more documents. Type part of a title to find it.
4. Click “Save”.

Skileo says how many documents were given. The list in the window only offers the documents the employee doesn't have yet.

The employee can open these documents in “Documents” in their own space. No e-mail is sent.

## Take a document back

Click the cross on the document's line in the “Documents” tab, then “Remove”.

Only the link to the employee is removed. The document stays in “Documents”, and you can give it again later.

## Give tasks

The tasks must already be in “Tasks”. To create one, see [Create a task](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/create-a-task).

1. Open the employee's page and click the “Tasks” tab.
2. Click “Add new”. The window “Assign tasks” opens.
3. Pick one or more tasks. The list offers the tasks nobody has yet.
4. Click “Save”.

In the “Tasks” tab:

- Tick a task to mark it as done.
- Click the bin to delete a task. It goes to the “Trash”, where you can restore it.

You can also give a task from “Tasks”. See [Assign a task](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/assign-a-task).


## Common questions

### Why can't I see the Documents or Tasks tab?

You need permission to see documents or tasks. To give them, you need permission to change them. See [Who can see and change employees](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/who-can-see-employees).

### Why isn't a document in the list?

The employee already has it, or you may not open it. The list shows only the documents you can see in “Documents”.

### What does the employee see?

The documents and tasks you gave them, in their own space. See [Your documents as an employee or a candidate](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/documents-for-employees-and-candidates).
