Bulk-import employees from Excel

Move your whole headcount in from a spreadsheet (or Tally/GreytHR export) in minutes.

Rather than typing in employees one at a time, import them in bulk from a CSV.

Import steps

  1. 1Go to App → Employees → Import.
  2. 2Paste your CSV data into the import screen — there's no file-upload button, so copy the rows straight out of Excel/Sheets or another export. The page shows a sample header row to copy from.
  3. 3The supported columns are empCode, firstName, lastName, email, gender, annualCtc, regime, department, location. Designation, date of joining, PAN, UAN and bank details aren't part of this import — add those afterwards on each employee's profile.
  4. 4Submit. Comsky HRMS reports which rows imported and which were skipped, with a reason per row.
  5. 5Fix flagged rows and re-run, or import the valid rows and add the rest manually.

What gets checked

  • Rows with a duplicate employee code are skipped.
  • There's no PAN/IFSC/UAN/ESIC/phone format validation on this import today — double-check those fields yourself before or after importing.

Tip: Import core identity + salary fields first to unblock payroll, then enrich profiles (family, education, prior experience, KYC documents) later — those can be added any time from each employee's profile.
