How to validate an employee data csv
- Step 1Export from your HR system or prepare the import template — Download the employee roster or populate the HR platform's import template CSV.
- Step 2Drop it into the validator — Drag the file into the health checker. The report runs entirely in your browser.
- Step 3Review field-level warnings — Inspect blank-cell alerts, column-count drift, and encoding warnings row by row.
- Step 4Fix and re-import — Correct flagged rows in your spreadsheet, then attempt the HR system import again.

Can it check for duplicate employee records?+
The validator highlights duplicate values in key columns. For removing duplicates, use the CSV Deduplicator.
Is sensitive HR data uploaded?+
No. Employee names, IDs, and salaries stay local in your browser. Nothing is sent to JAD Apps.
