(Expected 2024)
The Irish Government has set a date for auto enrolment to be rolled out in Ireland. From 2024, employers will be required to enrol their employees into a workplace pension scheme and contribute towards the employee's pension pot. All BrightPay payroll packages will include auto enrolment functionality. We have the experience to guide you through the process after rolling out a similar system in the UK in 2012.
BrightPay licences can be installed on up to 10 PCs. This means that payroll processing is possible by up to 10 users, or from 10 different locations. When used alongside BrightPay Connect, the software will automatically alert you if another user is in the file to prevent the risk of conflicting copies. BrightPay also reminds you to use the most up-to-date version of the file if it detects multiple connected payroll files.
All payroll data for an employer is contained in a single file for simple backup and transfer. Sensitive data is encrypted in the employer file. Employer files can be optionally password protected. Employer files can be stored on a cloud file sync service such as Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive giving you access to the employer files from multiple PCs. Payroll data can also be automatically backed up to a secure online server every 15 minutes, using BrightPay Connect.
BrightPay Connect is a cloud extension to BrightPay, introducing automatic cloud backups, an online employer portal and an employee self-service app. BrightPay Connect enables employers to link payroll and HR in a way they never thought possible, with HR document distribution, an employee leave management tool and much more.
