I’m getting an “invalid nationality” error while importing employee details into Zoho Payroll. How can I resolve this issue?

The issue arises due to incorrect spellings of nationalities in your import file. To resolve this issue:

Cross-check the spellings of nationalities in your import file against the official names provided by Zoho Payroll. Ensure they match the official spellings of nationalities. Refer to the list of nationalities in Zoho Payroll for accurate spellings.
Adhere to Correct Format: Confirm that the nationality values in your import file are in lowercase and precisely match the official spellings of nationalities as outlined by Zoho Payroll.

After implementing these corrections, attempt to import the employee details again. The “invalid nationality” error should be resolved.
