# Adding and Managing Employee Medical Aid Information in HRSimplified

HRSimplified has introduced a feature that allows HR to store details of employee medical aid schemes directly in their profiles. This functionality is found under the **Emergency Details** section, providing a centralized place for both emergency contacts and medical aid information.

This ensures accurate records of employee benefits and streamlines data management for HR professionals.
