Import Employee Demographics

This program will import employee demographic page information into the Human Resources System> Demographic page so it does not have to be entered one staff member at a time. It will import data from a file to a table on the screen and the user can choose which employee's information to import.

Pipe "|" Delimited File Format (not comma separated) - This is the record format/layout that we require to import an employee demographic file. All fields listed are required to exist in the import, but only the fields with a 'Y' under the 'Required' column are required to contain information. Header record is required.

NOTE: The logic for importing employee demographic information into the Human Resource System is as follows:

The program checks to see if a record exists in the database with the employee's SSN.

1. If a record exists then the program checks to see if the employee last names are the same.
   • If they are the same then the program updates the demographic information only if the corresponding fields are blank.
2. This program considers the HR Data to be more accurate, unless you select to Override HR.
   • If you select to Override HR, then the program will replace the demographic information with the data found in the table on the screen and in the case of the address and phone numbers, if the address/phone number type you selected from the setup box exists in the database, then only the first occurrence will be overwritten.
3. If a record exists but the employee last names are not the same, then the record is skipped.
4. If a record does not exist then the program will generate a Staff ID and insert the employee's information into the Human Resource System.
