File Naming Guidelines

When you are ready to save your file, please name the file with the first four characters of your company name, plus the 
day and month you are creating it. 

For example:

Acme Incorporated, file created on December 1st - acme1201.xls
Microsoft Corporation, file created February 14th - micr0214.xls

If you are unable to use this naming convention, please name your file as uniquely as possible. Using 4-8 letters that are 
an acronym of your company name, or actually spelling your company name is acceptable. If you are sending multiple 
files, please provide a unique name for each file. Multiple files with the same name cannot be processed.

Please do not use "newhire" or any variation of "newhire" for your file name.
