Employee Frequently Asked Questions

Importing Employee Data into TLC

Data to be imported into TLC must be in a particular format. Before you begin, determine which fields your spreadsheet must contain, and which fields are optional. It is not mandatory that the fields (columns) in your spreadsheet have the same names as the fields in TLC, or that they are in the same order. It is mandatory that all required data exist in your spreadsheet, and that it be consistent.

Please note: The system will not accept special characters, formatting, and make sure to save the file in excel format.

  • Employee ID/Username
