Zip Files - Preparing the documents for upload
1. enableHR allows for you to upload a set of same type documents through the use of a zip file. The following requirements must be met:
- The Employee ID/Payroll number for each employee must already be recorded within enableHR;
- Each file name for each employee document must contain their Employee ID/Payroll number;
- The Employee ID/Payroll number must be saved as one ‘word’, however it can be saved at any point throughout file name; and
- The zip file must contain the same document type.
For example, if the document is an employment contract for Employee ID #1234, the document file name should read something like this “1234_EmploymentContract_CalvinKlein2012.pdf”
Please see the What is a Candidate / Employee / Contractor ID number? article for more detailed information.
2. When performing the upload, you are required to select the document type that you are uploading. The upload process will then make the assumption (based off your selection) that all documents in the zip file are the same type.
For example, if you were wanting to upload performance reviews and employment contracts to employee files - all performance reviews are to be uploaded in one zip file and employment contracts should be uploaded in a separate zip file.
How to create a ZIP file
1. Create a folder and copy the relevant documents into that folder. This will help you organise the files you intend to upload into one location.
2. Highlight all the files you intend to bulk upload and then right click to select “Send to”’ and then select “Compressed (zipped) folder”.
