Activate User's Guide

Version

Employee Personal Data

Use the Employee Personal Data wizard to upload personal employee data. Examples of employee personal data include: Birth State, Birth Country, SIN Expiry date, Seniority Date, First Day worked Gender Identity, Ethnicity, Marital Status, Disabled, Veteran Status, and Language. The wizard runs validations to make sure that the data is correct.

Important notes

  • You can run this data load more than one time.
  • See your Implementation Consultant for the accepted values for your configuration.
  • Activate uses HR Version 2.0 (NextGen) when loading data during configuration.

Before you begin

Employees being provided in the Employee Personal template must exist in Dayforce.

Using this wizard

The previously loaded employee personal information shows in an editable grid with the compensation-related fields that need to be populated. You can enter information directly in the grid or you can download the Employee Personal 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, you must review and correct them by updating the data in the grid or uploading a corrected template.

Always enter required changes in the template to ensure that future uploads are accurate. If you make edits directly in the grid, click Save and download the updated file for record keeping purposes.

Personal 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.
