### Notes about imported people data:

- *Future hires will be automatically imported, regardless of their hire dates. To ensure new hires are assigned to the correct position at the appropriate time, we recommend specifying future effective dates when* [*assigning individuals to Built positions*](/v1/docs/connecting-people-imported-from-paylocity-to-newly-assigned-positions) *in Paylocity.*
- *When* [*updating role assignments*](/v1/docs/connecting-people-imported-from-paylocity-to-newly-assigned-positions)*, we recommend entering the appropriate Built position IDs in Paylocity prior to scheduled imports, ensuring that new positions are not created unnecessarily.*
