Resolution

If importing to Update the Terminated or Inactive Dates: 

  1. Build .CSV file (for 11.3) or .CSV or Excel file (2019.1 and higher) with the following columns
    1. Employee Number
    2. Terminated/Inactive Date
    3. Terminated/Inactive Reason (if applicable) 
      1. If Terminated and Inactive date/reason fields are both needed, they will need their own columns.
    4. Action Flag (U for Update)
  2. Access Payroll > Employee Maintenance > Employee Import
  3. Click Define
    1. Select Import Type of Employee Information Import
    2. Select Form Definition (11.3) or  Template (2019.1 and higher)
