In the spreadsheet, you can enter all information through tabs. All the employee records will be exported with the current information from HR Hub.

Refer to the below instructions before filling it out. The actual form is on the following tabs.

**Note:**

All 'Required(\*\*)' columns must be filled including your own data.

 

**Important note!**

For account numbers, please omit dashes, spaces, or any characters. The account number format is in number only. By having other characters, it will cause a blank bank file.

Step 2 - Click Save and upload back into Swingvy

Step 3 - Click Validate & Import when the uploading is done
