Import employees from Excel

Please note! You will need to set up your Policies before importing your employees. Click here to view our guide for how to set up Policies.

Click: Setup Admin -> Company -> Import employees from Excel

1. Click Download to get the Excel template

2. Add employee master data to the template and upload

Please note:

  • Departments are created from the template if not already existing.

  • If you plan to update your payroll system remember to also add payroll system numbers. Read more here about direct export to payroll systems.

  • If you add a mobile number remember to add country code.

  • A maximum of 100 employees can be loaded at a time. If you need to load +100 employees, we recommend that they be loaded per staff group. It makes the process easier to handle.

You have two options: Drag and drop the Excel to the designated area or select the file from your PC.
