Why does the .csv format file fail to upload?

# There are a few reasons why you experience failure on the CSV file upload: 
1. Duplication of data on your employee list 
2. Some employees listed in the file have already registered to GoCorp 
3. Incorrect .csv format on your file 

To understand the reason for failures, you can click the notification icon beside the language setting in the dashboard.
