Import conflict. Employee File. Employee exists on both Employment Hero HR and Employment Hero payroll classic.

Explanation

This error occurs when the employee exists on both your Employment Hero (EH) HR and Payroll classic platforms, and they are using the same unique identifier, i.e. both records are using the same email address.
