The Employee Notes Bulk Upload can be found within the Other Data section:

When you load the page the most important parts relating to bulk upload are at the top of the page:

This page includes:

Employee Field

In the CSV the first column is called employee ID, this setting relates to what you enter in that column, For example if you have used the employee's names in the CSV the employee name option will need to be selected. 

Include archived employees in search?

When using the name or Works ID method, sometimes you may have multiple instances of the same employee with one active and one archived - if you set this to NO we will not search archived employees when matching and will only search your active employees. If you had 2 active employees of the same name, for example, this setting would make no difference.
