Processing a Post-cessation Payment

In the event that you need to make a subsequent payment to an employee after they have left your employment, a dedicated facility is available within BrightPay to facilitate this.

• Within ‘Payroll’ select the pay period in which you wish to make the payment after leaving.
  
  
• Click ‘More’ on the menu bar, followed by ‘Add Post Cessation Payslip(s)...’.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Select the employee or employees in question and click ‘OK’. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Process the employee’s payslip as required and finalise the payslip as normal. 
  
  
  

The employee and their payment after leaving details will subsequently be included in the relevant payroll submission for submission to Revenue. This PSR will also include the employee's original employment ID and original cessation date, in order for Revenue to know this is a post cessation payment.

A payslip for the employee will also be available for printing/emailing/exporting.
