BrightPay also reminds you to use the most up-to-date version of the file if it detects multiple connected payroll files.

Payroll data can also be automatically backed up to a secure online server every 15 minutes, using BrightPay Connect.

The Irish Government has set the date of January 2025 for auto-enrolment to be rolled out in Ireland. This means employers will be required to enrol employees into a workplace pension scheme and make contributions towards the employees’ pension fund. BrightPay will include full auto-enrolment functionality. We have the experience to guide you through the process after rolling out a similar system in the UK in 2012.
