Flexible access for the whole team
Team members can access BrightPay from anywhere, at any time. Whether you’re in the office, working from home, or even abroad, all you need is an internet connection to work on payroll in the cloud. Unlimited users can access the software and work on the same payroll file together, and changes will be visible in real-time.
Employee self-service portal
Through the portal, employees can access their payslips and other payroll documents, request annual leave, request updates to their personal information, and view a calendar of all their past and scheduled leave.
Batch processing
It’s time to work faster and check for coding notices, finalise payslips, and send any outstanding RTIs submissions to HMRC for multiple employers, all at the same time.
Integrated with accounting software
BrightPay has API integration with 8 different accounting software packages, including Xero, Sage Business Cloud Accounting, and QuickBooks. Simply send the payroll journal from BrightPay directly to your bookkeeping software.
Import and update employees easily
When you upgrade to our cloud-based payroll software, you won’t need to manually enter employee details. Get set up in no time by importing employees using a CSV or FPS file.
Pension integrations
Customers of NEST, The People’s Pension, and Smart Pension can send contribution and enrolment files from BrightPay directly to their pension provider portal.
Reliable and secure data hosting
Your data is securely backed up online on a remote server, with optimal security measures in place to protect it. BrightPay utilises the cloud computing service Microsoft Azure – one of the leading file hosting services in the industry – to store user data.
Batch coding notice changes
Streamline your payroll process by searching for and downloading coding notices directly within the payroll software. This ensures the payroll is always accurate.
Direct payments to employees & HMRC
BrightPay is integrated with payment platform Modulr, allowing direct payments to employees and HMRC 24/7, 365 days a year. Payments are processed within 90 seconds, meaning timely payments and less chance of errors.
Customised reports
Choose from over 100 data items and select which employees to include in a report. Reports can be emailed, printed, exported to PDF, or saved for future use.
