Uploading Your Employee Database via CSV
If your company cannot use Excel for uploading an employee database, you can still add your employees quickly using a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file. This method ensures seamless data import while maintaining compatibility with most HR and payroll systems.
Step 1: Download the CSV Template
To make the process easier, we've provided a pre-formatted CSV template that you can download and fill in with your employee data. This template includes all the required columns in the correct format, helping to minimise errors during upload.

Step 2: Fill Out the CSV File
Once you’ve downloaded the template, open it in a spreadsheet tool (Google Sheets, Numbers, or any text editor that supports CSV files). Make sure there are no extra spaces before or after text entries to avoid formatting errors.
Step 3: Save the File in CSV Format
Once all employee details are added, save the file as a CSV:
- Google Sheets: Click File > Download > Comma-separated values (.csv)
- Numbers (Mac): Click File > Export To > CSV
- Text Editors (Notepad, VS Code, etc.): Ensure the file is saved with .csv extension
Step 4: Upload Your CSV File
- Navigate to the Employee Management section in your account.
- Click on Import Employees.
- Choose your CSV file from your device.
- Click Upload to proceed.
Step 5: Review and Confirm
After uploading, a preview of your data will be displayed. If any errors are detected, you’ll be prompted to fix them before finalising the import.
