Update Employee Numbers with a User Import

If you need to update employee numbers in Perform, use the Employee Number Update import template rather than the standard User Import template.

Using the dedicated template ensures employee numbers are updated correctly and helps prevent duplicate employee records from being created.

Prepare the Import File

Create a CSV file with the following two columns:

Populate each row with the employee's existing employee number and the new employee number you want to assign.

Upload the Employee Number Update File

Once your CSV file is complete:

1. Navigate to Settings > User Import.
2. Select Choose a spreadsheet.
3. Upload the Employee Number Update CSV file.

The system will process the employee number changes using the values provided in your spreadsheet.

Continue with Your Standard User Import

After the employee number update has been completed, you can proceed with your standard User Import to perform other employee updates, such as:

• Adding new hires
• Updating managers
• Changing positions
• Making other employee information updates
