Error when importing employees

Importing some employees and I'm getting these validation errors but I can't see the fields on the csv:

 

  • Error validating pay run settings: 'Default Pay Cycle Id' should not be empty.,'Default Pay Category Id' should not be empty.,'Default Location Id' should not be empty.

    Hi HilaryNaylor,

     

    Thanks for your post - can I check if you have column headings on the CSV for 'PaySchedule' and 'PrimaryPayCategory'?

     

    You can see the minimum field requirements for this here - please get back to us below if you're continuing to have trouble with this. 👩‍💻

    Hi Hilary Do those columns you listed have data entered in them? The data within the spreadsheet columns,Pay Schedule, Primary Pay Category and Primary Location should correspond to what you have set up in the Payroll. Pay Schedule should be Weekly, Monthly etc, Primary Pay Category should be Salary, Hourly Pay etc and Primary Location should be whatever you have created within the Locations section.
