To get started with Comprehensive, the very first thing you'll need to do is get employee information into your account. This can be done via either an HRIS or Payroll integration, or, you can upload information directly.
Integration Instructions
Most HRIS/Payroll providers

After you receive login credentials, go to Integrations in your company settings
Select “Add Integration”
Follow the steps to connect your account to Comprehensive
Rippling
Ensure you're able to login to Comprehensive.
Connect Comprehensive via your Rippling account from this page. Once you connect, it will ask you to sign into Comprehensive and go through an install flow to authorize the integration.
SSO won’t be available until the integration is set up
Important note: You’ll need to grant access to any employee you’d want to sync to Comprehensive (this is usually all employees). It's recommended to use their rules to grant access so you don't need to grant access on a one-off basis for new hires. This will NOT send any invites to employees, the access just means that you're enabling salary data to flow to Comprehensive. Employee information will not flow via integration if a different option is selected.
Upload Instructions
Any employee information you'd like to upload will be done on the Employees > Upload page. To add new employees, you'll use the "Upload new employees" option and to edit or add new information for an existing employee you'll use "Upload Additional Employee information" option.
Upon upload, you will not need to map your employee data to a specific template. You can map your existing files to the appropriate fields or create new fields if they do not exist.
💡 Pro Tip: You do not need to upload all your information at once - you can upload new fields and edit existing information as many times as you'd like.
