At BrightPay Software, we have a passion for making the financial and administrative aspects of payroll management less time-consuming and easy to use. With years of experience and dedication to this ideal, we have created a range of IT software solutions which are in use by over 300,000 businesses in Ireland and the UK today.
BrightPay Payroll Software
Finally, somebody made great payroll software. BrightPay has everything you need to manage your Payroll and Auto Enrolment duties. It looks great, it’s really easy to use, and support is free. What are you waiting for?
So many features. So little clutter.
By far, the majority of the effort that went into creating BrightPay was in the design of the user interface. BrightPay gives visual priority to the most common payroll tasks, and shows or hides various features only as they become relevant.
When payroll is straightforward, BrightPay keeps it simple. When payroll gets complicated, BrightPay makes it easy.
For Accountants, Bookkeepers and Payroll Bureau's BrightPay provides everything you need to prepare your clients for Auto Enrolment. It handles staging dates and employee assessment, employer postponement, all employee communications, ongoing employee monitoring and reporting, opt outs and refunds. BrightPay is integrated with many AE pension providers (including tailored CSV preparation) such as NEST, The People's Pension, NOW: Pensions, Scottish Widows and many more.

It would be great
Thanks Henry,
It would be great if other pension providers launched a similar integration. A tool like this would really help speed up the auto enrolment process each pay period, especially for bureaus.

Good Luck
This is a great idea. Best of luck to Mike on this new venture. Of course BrightPay is delighted to get 5 stars in our review from the Bookkeepers Alliance.
Great Article Robert
It's interesting to see what TPR have planned to help HMRC basic PAYE tool. It seems to me to be more of hindrance than a help! Too much room for error but these users are afraid to avail of free or low cost tools. Penalty notices will surely increase.
Very Information
Great article. Thanks for sharing.
Great Job
Thanks Rachael for doing such a great job. Best of luck in the new job!!
Payslips in BrightPay
Thanks for replying.
It is possible to email the payslips directly to each employee from BP. You don’t have to download and then email but that is an option also.
Once you have entered the employees email into BrightPay, there is an option to email the payslips to each employee. If you didn’t want the payslip to be directly emailed to the employees you could change the employees email address to the employers email address. Then it would allow you to directly email payslips from BP to the employer.
That’s no problem about the RTI batch function. Thanks for taking to the time to look at a demo of BrightPay.

Happy belated Patricks day to you too.
RTI - You are correct in that batch processing of RTI returns is not catered for. However, it is evident from our 15/16 dashboard if there are RTI returns outstanding for particular clients and it is a very quick exercise to send the FPS or EPS. In the main, when a payroll is processed, the user will attend to the FPS submission there and then.
Regarding emailing payslips directly from BrightPay this is possible. Once the employees email is entered under the employee details, you can send the payslip directly to the employees email address. It is possible also to download the payslip as a PDF, save and send to the employees email address. I’m sorry this wasn’t clear when you were doing the demo. If you would like we could arrange to show you this feature?
BrightPay files can now be saved on Google Drive. It works the same way as Dropbox. Simply save the file and you can access the BP file on another computer.
Hope you this helps.
Thanks Matthew,
The list goes on alright.

Communicate with Payroll Clients
There's little doubt that a large portion of these small employers will look for advice close to or even after their staging dates. Bureaus need to start communicating with their payroll clients informing them about their Auto Enrolment duties. There is a unique opportunity to offer AE as a chargeable service.
I recently published an article on Accounting web called Auto Enrolment - Five Strategic Steps to Bureau Profitability.
As the comments suggest above some payroll providers are charging extra for AE features or modules and support. AE payroll features should be easy to use when it comes to these employer admin tasks including the task of employee communication. The whole area of Auto Enrolment is complicated enough without problems with payroll software adding to the list.
BrightPay payroll includes AE and includes email & phone support for free.
