Importing an Employee List

The Project Manager and Foreman can Import a list of employees rather than entering them in one-by-one. You need to create a CSV file with your employee information. The screen shot below shows a Sample Employee Import.csv file. The import fields on the first line must be entered exactly as shown. There is a example saved in C:\OCS Documents\OST\Sample Employee Import.xls.

Creating the CSV Import File

The simplest way to create an importable employee list is to use a spreadsheet program.

checkbox In the top row, enter in the following fields:

EmpNo, FirstName, LastName, Address1, Address2, City, State, Zip, HomePhone, MobilePhone, Email, PayClass.  EmpNo, FirstName, and LastName are required fields.  We recommend including "PayClass".
