Yes, several fields can be included on an Excel spreadsheet/CSV file when you are bulk importing staff. To navigate to the Import Tool, you will want to click the upside down triangle to the right of the add staff member button.

When in the Bulk Staff Import Tool you will see the 4 main fields that the Excel or CSV file is required to have; Email, First Name, Last Name, and Payrate. You can also include Groups and Notification Start Date as columns in the spreadsheet as well.

This is a list of all required and additional fields that can be included on the spreadsheet:

  • Email

After the document has been uploaded, you will then need to map the spreadsheet fields to the WorkBright fields. All required fields need to be mapped and need the green checkmark. You will have the option to not import certain fields in this window.

Once WorkBright validates the Excel or CSV file you will have a chance to review the data. If everything looks correct you can start your import.
