Term of Employment Upload (Montana)

Tool Search: MT Data Upload

The Terms of Employment Upload allows districts to import staff employment and assignment data. It utilizes staff state ID numbers and demographics data to confirm identities. Acceptable import formats are .TXT and .TSV. See the MT Data Upload article for more information about this tool.

Import Records

See the Uploading Files section of the MT Data Upload article for detailed information about importing records via the MT Data Upload tool.

The Retrieve New Student State ID File option is only relevant to Student Demographic uploads. Please ignore this option when uploading staff data.

Upload Logic 

This report can run against a district’s active year as well as any prior year and in both District Edition and State Edition against District Edition data.

Staff demographic data is compared to existing data to determine when to create a new staff demographic record. Employment and assignment data can still be imported for existing staff members.

An Employment Assignment Location record is created when importing Employment Assignments.
