Upload Dependants
This feature allows users to add multiple dependants to different
employee records at the same time by submitting a .csv file.
- Go to Management, select Data Upload, and clik on Upload
Dependants.
- User may want to review the list of fields which can actually
be changed or updated.
- 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.
- Create a spreadsheet with the following headers:
- EmployeeID
- Relationship
- FirstName
- LastName
- DateOfBirth
- Address1
- Address2
- City
- State
- PostalCode
- Country
Notes:
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.
- Fill in each field with the dependants information according to
the indications in 'View Valid Fields':
- EmployeeID Enter Employee ID just as it is shown in the
employee record.
- Relationship Enter relationship of dependant to
employee. Only valid entries are: Son, Daughter, Brother or
Sister.
- FirstName Enter up to 35 alphabetic characters.
- LastName Enter up to 35 alphabetic characters.
- DateOfBirth Type date in format MM/DD/YYYY
- Address1 Enter up to 40 alphabetic characters. In
case this field is left blank, the system will automatically add
the Address stored in the employee record.
- Address2 Enter up to 40 alphabetic characters. In
case this field is left blank, the system will automatically add
the Address stored in the employee record.
- City Enter up to 30 alphanumeric characters. In case
this field is left blank, the system will automatically add the
City stored in the employee record.
- State Enter up to 25 alphanumeric characters. In case
this field is left blank, the system will automatically add the
State stored in the employee record.
- PostalCode Enter up to nine alphanumeric
characters. In case this field is left blank, the system will
automatically add the State stored in the employee record.
- Country Enter up to 20 alphanumeric
characters. In case this field is left blank, the system will
automatically add the Country stored in the employee record.
- Save spreadsheet as a .csv file (comma delimited). File name
must be as follows: "UPD" 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).
- Go to Management/Data Upload Options/Global Updates.
- Click on ‘Browse…’ to search for your file.
- Click on ‘Upload’.
- 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.
- Go to Human Resources, and Select Employee.
- Enter Employee ID.
- Go to Personal.
- Find the wrongly added dependant and click on Delete (far
right).
- Click on Delete (bottom part of page).
