Setting up an Employee Import
To set up an Employee Import:
-
Create the CSV text file.
You must create the employee import CSV file according to the field specifications listed in the HR Refresh Field Specification section.
See HR Refresh logic.
- Review the mapping directives and create any necessary additional mapping definitions in the Mapping Definitions page.
-
Review the HR Refresh Reference Settings for the import in the HR
Refresh Reference Settings page.
The HR Refresh Reference Settings allow you to define the action to implement if new values are imported to the fields listed in the HR Refresh Reference Settings page.
If the reference table records are missing for a particular employee record, the employee import process either Inserts the new record, or Rejects the record.

- Select FALSE from the drop-down menu to ignore the Auto Recalc settings of calculation groups.
The value of the Auto Recalc task parameter is superseded by the RULEENGINE_AUTORECALC registry parameter.
If the parameter is set to True, then Auto Recalc settings of calculation groups are used, even if the Auto Recalc task parameter is set to FALSE.

Select whether the task processes future balance dates when recalculating employee records.

Select TRUE from the drop-down menu to recalculate the future values of balances when recalculating records.

Select DEFAULT from the drop-down menu to defer to the value of the AUTO_RECALC_FUTURE_BALANCES registry parameter.
If this parameter’s value is True, balance values are recalculated into the future. If this parameter is set to False, balance values are not recalculated into the future.
