Onboarding support
Where can I view my expected bill?
Navigate to “My Organisation”, click “Billing”. Here you can see what you are due to pay and when, and how many employers and employees are on the payroll.
Do I have to add attachment orders again?
No, attachment orders are imported from BrightPay (desktop) to BrightPay’s cloud software.
Will my bank details all come across?
Yes, the employer and employees’ bank details come across from BrightPay (desktop) to BrightPay’s cloud software.
Do I need to set up my payroll journal mapping again?
Some settings of the payroll journals will be imported and some settings will need to be set up again. When you import from BrightPay (desktop) to BrightPay’s cloud software, the basic nominal ledger mapping will be imported including variations. However, you will need to set up any custom mapping again.
