Upload Employees (Bulk Import)

Bring a whole workforce in from a spreadsheet instead of typing each person.

Where: HR → Employees → Upload Employee · Template: download from Upload Templates.

Steps

1. Fill the template — one row per employee: Emp ID, first name, surname, other name, phone, email, SSNIT no., TIN, status, category and the profile columns.
2. Upload the file. The preview lists every row with a Reason column.
3. Choose the collision behaviour: Create new record and/or Override existing record (existing = matched by Employee ID).
4. Process. Rows that fail stay in the preview with the reason (missing required value, unknown department…) — fix and re-upload just those.

Common questions

Will re-uploading duplicate people? Not with Override existing — rows matching an existing Employee ID update in place.
