* Do you have your ROS Digital Cert for PAYE Modernisation? *

The computer that you run your BrightPay 2019 software on will need to have your ROS Digital Cert installed on it. If you are currently able to log into ROS from your computer, then you are fine. Otherwise, you should copy the cert (the .p12 or .p12.bac file) from the machine that you use for ROS to the machine that you use for processing payroll.

How will PAYE Modernisation affect employees?

Employers will now need to connect to ROS before calculating pay and deductions to ensure that they are using the most up-to-date tax credits and cut-off points. They will also have to report these deductions to Revenue every time employees are paid. Employees will then be able to view pay and deductions on myAccount on the Revenue website.
