Manually entering employee data one at a time can be time-consuming, especially for large teams. With HRStop’s Bulk Employee Upload feature, Admins can conveniently add multiple employees at once using a CSV file. This not only saves time but also reduces errors and enhances efficiency.
Steps to Add Employees in Bulk

Navigate to the Bulk Upload Section
- Go to Control Panel → Employees → View/Add.
- Click the drop-down arrow next to the +Add button in the page action bar.
- Select Import. A new page will open to upload employees using a CSV file.
-
Prepare the CSV File
- Scroll down and download the Sample CSV File.
- Fill in all the required employee details as per the sample format.
- Make sure the data is accurate and the date format matches the one you'll select during upload.

Upload the CSV File

Review & Upload

Post-Upload
Once the upload is successful:

Pro Tips

- Make sure fields like Employee Code and Email ID are unique for each employee.
- Use the reset option if you need to clear all entered data before re-uploading.
