Employee Import Spreadsheet

enableHR integrates with various payroll systems to increase productivity and efficiency. If enableHR doesn't integrate with your payroll system yet, you can use our Employee Importer. You should be able to do an export from your payroll system to help you populate our import spreadsheet more efficiently. 

You can also create employees individually in your enableHR account.

Before you commence, there are a few things to note:

  • You need to have first set up your branch structure and be able to easily identify what the Branch Key is for each branch. You will be prompted to include this in this spreadsheet;
  • The more employee data you populate into the spreadsheet, the more value you can extract from enableHR;
  • All data fields are optional, except for the 'Employee ID', 'First Name' and 'Last Name' fields which are compulsory;
  • The columns as displayed in the spreadsheet must remain the correct order;
  • Do not delete columns. If you do not wish to populate a column with data, please leave it blank unless it is a required field;
  • Row 1 within the spreadsheet contains the heading data - please do not delete it;
  • Row 2 within the spreadsheet contains example employee data, you are welcome to delete this;
  • The spreadsheet must contain only one worksheet (tab) - please do not create extra tabs.

Once you have populated your spreadsheet, you can upload it into your account by following these instructions:  Employee Bulk Importer

 

Column

Description & Recommendations

Employee ID

REQUIRED – It is required that you assign every employee a unique employee ID number. For consistency, it is recommended that you use the same employee ID number stored in payroll (if applicable). Employee IDs are necessary for future automation when it comes to things like automating bulk actions, such updating data and uploading existing HR documents.

Branch Key

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - This field requires you to assign each employee to the branch they should be created within. 

The branch API key acts as a unique identifier to help the application designate and identify a branch. It can be any combination of numbers and letters. This branch API key is vital for importing employees and API integrations. If a branch doesn’t have an API Key, then it will not be possible to import employees into it.

For more information on how to create or update a branch, refer to this article:  Branches
