2. If you hover over each icon you will see a description
The Green Flag indicates that there are some recommended changes to be added to the employee screen.
In this screenshot, the Social Ref, TIN Ref, and Employee Bank Account Tax Rate are all recommended after syncing.
Some employee fields in Ocerli do not exist in PeopleHR and therefore you must update these fields in Ocerli after syncing your employees.
3. For the employee records that are selected you can apply these
For the employee records with the orange warning triangle, you are unable to apply these without making corrections.
4. In this example: The Orange warning triangle indicates that validation has failed, and you are unable to import this employee until changes are made in the employee screen in People HR
This error shows: Employee: Title is a required field
You must go to PeopleHR and update the Title for this employee
5. To update this in PeopleHR, please navigate to Employees in PeopleHR
Select the relevant employee
Select Personal
Update the Employee's Title by selecting this
6. In this example, the employee has failed validation
The employee's Title is required- You must update this in PeopleHR

For the recommended items:
Some employee fields in Ocerli do not exist in PeopleHR, and therefore, you must update these fields in Ocerli after syncing your employees.
