How to import employees massively
Once you are in the "Employee's List" page, click on further option menu & select "Import employees". Alternatively click on "Import employees" in the Quick action menu on the header.
Step 1 - Upload file
- Firstly, you will need to download our import template.
- Once you prepare the file, click on "Browse" to upload it.
Note: Red columns, employee's first & last name, email, job title & their hiring starting date, are the only pieces of mandatory information needed to prepare the file. However, by filling out more information, you save time on data entry later.
Tip: By completing departments, locations and their reporting managers in the template file, they will automatically be created in k.people upon uploading.
Note: You may also import future hirings or inactive employees to keep all your employees' data in one place.
Step 2 - Review errors
In case errors occurs in step 2, it means you probably need to review the mentioned rows of the file and re upload the file in step 1.
For example, if it says that in 3rd row email exists, it means that in order to import the specific employee,you need to fill in a different email address.
Note: If you ignore errors and proceed, the employees affected by the mentioned errors will not be imported e.g., the employee in row #3. At the top of step 2, it shows how many employees will successfully be imported next to "Total records in chosen file".
If an employee's account email doesn't match the existing employees in your company account, a new employee account will be created.
