Upload Dependants

This feature allows users to add multiple dependants to different employee records at the same time by submitting a .csv file.  
  1. Go to Management, select Data Upload, and clik on Upload Dependants.
  2. User may want to review the list of fields which can actually be changed or updated.
  3. Click on ‘View Valid Field Details’. Take some time to read all field descriptions and make sure you know how to enter data in each field considering the field requirements. Remember that some of the fields allow just numeric characters, and some others are alphanumeric. Also, you need to know the maximum number of characters that you can enter in every field.
  4. Create a spreadsheet with the following headers: Column headers must not have spaces between words. All 13 headers must be in the spreadsheet even if some of the columns do not contain any data at all.
  5. Fill in each field with the dependants information according to the indications in 'View Valid Fields':
  6. Save spreadsheet as a .csv file (comma delimited). File name must be as follows: &quotUPD" followed by the Company Code and two-digit month, two-digit date and four-digit year of the Pay Period Date. Suffix: For practical handling and to avoid undesirable deleting of data, it is necessary that all files have a suffix, which consists of a hyphen (-) followed by any three-character combination. For example: Company Code HERM submitting information for the Pay Period October 31, 2005 would name their import file UPDHERM10312005-AG1.CSV (AG1 would be the suffix).
  7. Go to Management/Data Upload Options/Global Updates.
  8. Click on ‘Browse…’ to search for your file.
  9. Click on ‘Upload’.
  10. In case any records are rejected, user will receive an email which will contain an attached file explaining which records were rejected and why. This will help user to correct any problem and re-submit the file.  Note: In case any wrong data is added, there is no way to delete -or overwrite- that information through this feature. The user will have to manually delete the record using the interface.
    1. Go to Human Resources, and Select Employee.
    2. Enter Employee ID.
    3. Go to Personal.
    4. Find the wrongly added dependant and click on Delete (far right).
    5. Click on Delete (bottom part of page).
