Making the move from Thesaurus Payroll Manager

BrightPay is Revenue compliant and includes full functionality for PAYE Modernisation. It simplifies compliance with updates available as any legislation changes happen, and in-software notifications to guide you. Retrieve Revenue Payroll Notifications (RPNs) and send Payroll Submission Requests (PSRs) seamlessly each pay period.

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.

BrightPay has API integration with accounting software, including BrightBooks, Xero, Sage Business Cloud Accounting, and Quickbooks Online. Users can send payroll journals to bookkeeping software from BrightPay.

PAYE, USC and PRSI must be operated by employers in respect of the taxable value of most benefits in kind and other non-cash benefits provided by them to their employees. BrightPay allows you to process all types of benefits that you provide to your employees.

Team members can access BrightPay from anywhere, at any time – all you need is an internet connection. Unlimited users can work on the same payroll file together and changes are visible in real-time.

Finalise payslips for multiple employers at the same time for powerful efficiency. Especially useful for bureaus with single-director companies or payrolls that don’t change from week to week. (A technical note about Revenue: PSRs for individual employers still must be sent to Revenue on or before the pay date.)

Payslips can be emailed, printed, exported to PDF, or automatically sent to employees’ self-service portals. Payslips can be tailored to add/remove certain information on the payslip. For example, add a company logo or remove the payment method details.

Get ultimate convenience with real-time, 24/7 payments using BrightPay’s integration with payment platform Modulr. It’s a fast, secure, and easy way to pay employees. If payments are submitted before 2:00 pm, it will land in employees’ bank accounts on the same day. There’s no need to spend hours creating bank files. In BrightPay, you can also choose to pay employees by credit transfer, cheque or cash.

Bright’s online tool for ERR reporting, BrightExpenses, seamlessly integrates with BrightPay. This allows you to send any payroll expenses directly from BrightPay to BrightExpenses. From there, they can be then forwarded to ROS.

When you upgrade to our cloud-based payroll software, you won’t need to manually enter employee details. Get set up in no time with a direct import from BrightPay for Windows, Thesaurus Payroll Manager, or by using a CSV file.

Process weekly, fortnightly, 4-weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly payment schedule. Run multiple payment schedules side-by-side and for the same frequency, with one-click access to any pay period. Add unlimited payments, additions, and deductions, to a payslip and assign an employee to one or multiple departments.

Auto-enrolment is coming to Ireland in 2025, requiring employers to enrol employees in workplace pension schemes and contribute to their pensions. BrightPay’s full auto-enrolment functionality is backed by our proven expertise, having successfully supported UK employers during their rollout in 2012. With our experience, we’re ready to guide you through Ireland’s transition seamlessly.
