Karima, I'm sorry that the artifact source type wasn't the correct option. However, you question still hasn't been answered.
I spent some time looking for the proper suggestion for you. While realizing that the copies are not the proper artifact, I guess that I would recording the documents as a generic source, with a separate source for each document. I'd personally scan each document and include it with the source and describe that these are copies of US government employment records well in the comments. There doesn't seem to be any other choice for employment records. This may not give you the "proper" format, but I think that we'd all agree that the most important part of the source documentation is not the format, but rather the ability to retrace to find the same document. While I am not a source expert, this is how I would enter the data.

S. Dept of Personnel Management, for his employment with the U.S. Printing office in the late 1880s and early 1900s. What template should I use to record this source. The file contains letters of recommendation, appointments for positions and letters from my g-grandfather requesting time off to have eye surgery. Thank you.
