Important Note: This procedure only applies when your Employee data is transfer via SFTP or upload via Manual Import.

When you have temporary employees such as Auditors or short-term Contractors that have a requirement to be seated at a desk, then you will need to include these people in SiQ.

Normally, employees are imported into SiQ either via an Employee import via SFTP or manually uploaded. If you do not want to include temporary employees in the Employee Import then you can manually add or remove these employees.

When the Employee import is loaded into SiQ and any employees who are not included in the import file but exist in the SiQ Employee list will be deleted. Any employee manually added to the SiQ Employee list will not be deleted.
