August 26th 2026: Bulk import data

Prev Next

The Bulk Import functionality in Cintra People has been rebuilt, giving you a better way to add or update payroll and employee data at scale.

What's new?

Bulk import covers three data types:

  • One-off payments and deductions. Add one-off payments or deductions for multiple employees, in either format you already hold your data in: one row per employee per payment, or one row per employee with payments spread across columns.

  • Salary and allowances. Update salary or allowance details for multiple employees in a single import.

  • New starters. Add multiple new employees in a single import.

Key benefits

  • Load your file as it already exists. No need to reshape it before uploading.

  • Map your file's columns to Cintra's fields on screen, with any unmapped columns flagged before you can proceed.

  • Fix validation errors inline, without leaving the screen or re-uploading the file.

  • Track every import's status from a recent imports table.

How can I find out more?
