In this case, we offer you an upload of your employee data using Excel and provide you with quick and uncomplicated support!  For this service, which is completely free of charge, we only need 3 things from you:  - **Your company structure in absence.io** You can read and implement this with our step-by-step instructions which you can find and download directly at the end of this article. - **Support access to your absence.io account** Just go to Settings > Account and Integrations > Account settings and activate the corresponding toggle. - **Return of the completed Excel import file** The Excel file can be downloaded directly at the end of this article. The first tab is the list which has to be completed - mandatory fields are marked in blue (row 4). The yellow row 5 serves as an example of how to fill in. The other tabs contain a fill-in description as well as an overview of the different roles we use in absence.io with their corresponding rights.  Send your import file to your contact person or to [support@absence.io](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/support@absence.io?hsLang=en) and we will take care of everything else. If you have any questions, feel free to book a support demo with us and we will go through it with you again: [Support-Demo](https://calendly.com/absenceio-en/our-import-service) - [EN\_Setup Service\_absence.io.xlsx](https://info.absence.io/hubfs/Helpcenter/EN_Setup%20Service_absence.io.xlsx?hsLang=en) 200 KB Download - EN\_Step-by-Step.pdf 5 MB [Download](https://info.absence.io/hubfs/Helpcenter/EN_Step-by-Step.pdf?hsLang=en) - [Getting started](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [absence.io - Shortly explained](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/getting-started?hsLang=en#absence-io-shortly-explained) - [Intro for your Employees](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/getting-started?hsLang=en#intro-for-your-employees) - [Setting up your account](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/getting-started?hsLang=en#setting-up-your-account) - [FAQs](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FAQ - Absence Management](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/faqs?hsLang=en#faq-absence-management) - [FAQ - Time Tracking](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/faqs?hsLang=en#faq-time-tracking) - [FAQ - Integrations](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/faqs?hsLang=en#faq-integrations) - [FAQ - Account Basics](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/faqs?hsLang=en#faq-account-basics) - [Absence Management](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/absence-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Absence Management](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/absence-management?hsLang=en#absence-management) - [Time Tracking](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/time-tracking?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Time Tracking](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/time-tracking?hsLang=en#time-tracking) - [Compensation](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/time-tracking?hsLang=en#compensation) - [Digital Personnel File](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/digital-personnel-file?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Digital Employee File](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/digital-personnel-file?hsLang=en#digital-employee-file) - [Expense Management](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/expense-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Expense Management for Administrators](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/expense-management?hsLang=en#expense-management-for-administrators) - [Expense Management for User](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/expense-management?hsLang=en#expense-management-for-user) - [FAQ - Expenses](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/expense-management?hsLang=en#faq-expenses) - [Integrations/ API](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/integrations-api?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Slack/ MS Teams](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/integrations-api?hsLang=en#slack-ms-teams) - [API](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/integrations-api?hsLang=en#api) - [Set Up Integrations](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/integrations-api?hsLang=en#set-up-integrations) - [Calendar synchronization: MS365/Google and ICS Links](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/integrations-api?hsLang=en#calendar-synchronization-ms365-google-and-ics-links) - [Data Privacy and Security](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/data-privacy-and-security?hsLang=en#main-content) - [We take care - Data Privacy and Security](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/data-privacy-and-security?hsLang=en#we-take-care-data-privacy-and-security) [![Design ohne Titel (2)](https://info.absence.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Design%20ohne%20Titel%20(2).png?width=200&height=42&name=Design%20ohne%20Titel%20(2).png "Design ohne Titel (2)")](https://www.absence.io/) Support Phone: +49(089) 143 777 477 Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
