Further information

Details on this import process

Some notes on the import:

  • The platform will allocate the cost centre from the data extract as the employee's primary location and the location within the file as an additional employee location.
  • The data extract includes both an hourly rate and an annual rate. The platform uses the hourly rate and base rate while it will discard the annual rate, as it is not completely accurate.
  • The locations are all set up at the top level currently, i.e. no nesting.
  • Because of Attaché limitations, the employee files will be incomplete after the import and you will need to enter further information. The data that is not imported includes:
    • Email address.
    • Bank account details.
    • Super fund details.
    • Leave balances.
    • Year-to-date figures.
