You can quickly add or import multiple employees to Humanity either manually or by using detailed form, .csv or .xlsx sheet.

Things to know before you begin:

  1. You must have a manager/admin, supervisors and schedulers access privileges in Humanity to add employees.

  2. Schedulers can only add employees manually and not assigned positions to them.

  3. To import employees in .csv or .xlsx form, you must use the accepted form.

  4. You can also add custom fields via .csv or .xlsx import. Just match your column title with a "Custom Field". If a custom field does not exist, a new custom field will be created, and its value will be added to an employee's account. The number of custom fields is not limited.

The scenario outlined in this tutorial consists of the following building blocks:

  1. Add Employees Manually

  2. Add Employees Using Detailed Form

  3. Import Employees via .csv or .xlsx file
