Importing hours via an Excel File in Dataløn Format

How to Import a Dataløn File into Salary


Salary supports the Dataløn file format. This means that if you've previously used Dataløn and are switching to Salary, or if you're using a time registration system that supports the Dataløn format but not the native Salary format, you can use it to import your employees' working hours into Salary.

The most important thing is to ensure that the employee number is identical in both systems. Otherwise, Salary won't be able to match the imported data to the correct employee.

If this is your first time importing a file, feel free to contact us. We'll be happy to help you with the setup or troubleshoot any issues you may encounter.
