Amending employee details via upload

Updating employee information accurately is vital for benefits administration. Instead of editing records one by one, HR admins can efficiently amend multiple employee details via upload on the benefits portal. Here’s a quick guide:

Preparing Your Amendments File

• File Format: Use the platform’s required format, typically CSV or Excel (.xlsx).
• Columns: Include mandatory columns such as Employee ID (unique identifier), First Name, Last Name, and fields to update like Address, Phone Number, Job Title, or Benefits Plan Code.
• Data Rules: Follow platform-specific formatting rules—dates as YYYY-MM-DD, phone numbers without special characters, and dropdown fields matching predefined values (e.g., ‘Full-Time’ / ‘Part-Time’).

Making Changes

• Update only the required fields for each employee.
• Ensure Employee ID is accurate to avoid mismatches.
• Maintain consistency in spelling and formatting.

Upload and Validate

• Log into the benefits portal and navigate to the bulk upload or employee data section.
• Upload your prepared file.
• The system will validate your data and highlight errors. Fix issues and re-upload if needed.
• Confirm the changes once validation passes.

Final Steps

• Notify affected employees if necessary.
• Keep a backup of the uploaded file for compliance.
• Monitor the updated records in the portal for accuracy.
