Employee Emergency Contacts

Emergency Contact Information

Use the Emergency Contact Information wizard to upload emergency contact information for employees.

Note: Activate uses HR Version 2.0 (NextGen) when loading data during configuration.

Using this wizard

The previously loaded employee information shows in an editable grid with the emergency contact-related fields to be populated. You can enter information directly in the grid or you can download the Emergency Contact Data template, populate it, and then upload the data. When you edit the data in the grid, Activate shows any applicable validation warnings or errors. If warnings or errors are shown, review and correct them, update the data in the grid or upload a corrected template to correct them.

Enter required changes in the template to assure accuracy for future uploads. If you make edits directly in the grid, click Save and download the updated file for record keeping purposes.

Before you begin

Employees included in the Employee Emergency Contacts template must exist in Dayforce and meet the minimum requirements, like have a hire date, a work assignment, and employment status data.

Note: You can load employee data with the following wizard: Getting Started, Employees, and Clean Up Data for Parallel or Go Live.

Emergency Contact Data template fields

All templates have the same basic structure:

  • Instructions tab: Helps you understand the purpose of the data and complete the fields in the template.
  • Data tab: Contains headers for the data to be included in the template. The headers remain the same, but you can change the column order. If you add more columns, Activate ignores them.

All number ranges in the templates include the numbers at both ends of the range.
