5 ways client dashboards benefit hybrid-working models

Did you know that four out of five people no longer want to work in the office five days a week? Hybrid working models have gained huge popularity over the past two years, with many companies now looking for more long-term hybrid working solutions.

This new way of working changes your clients' days-to-day operations, including tasks related to payroll and HR. As a bureau, you can offer your clients access to technology that can help streamline payroll and HR processes, as they and their employees work remotely.

From online security to employee communications, it can be difficult to know where to start and which payroll software to choose. BrightPay Connect, the cloud-extension of BrightPay, offers a client dashboard, which can be a powerful tool in the payroll mix, helping you stand out from competitors when it comes to your service offering. Here are five key ways client dashboards can support and enhance your clients’ hybrid working models.

 

1. Gives clients’ more control over their payroll

Sending payroll data back and forth to clients can be both frustrating and time-consuming, between tiresome phone calls and never-ending email threads. That’s why client dashboards allow you to send payroll information seamlessly to your clients, which they can then approve. The client also has the option to enter any payroll information for that period, such as adding additions or deductions to employees’ pay, or new starter details. Once the person who processes the payroll is happy with the payroll information, they can then approve it, and it will flow directly back to the payroll software.

Clients can also access their dashboard from anywhere at any time, with multi-user access. This means that multiple users in the company can access the client dashboard, whether they work in the office or remotely. This saves you time, while also giving your clients more control of their payroll, allowing them to have the final say, before payslips are distributed.

 

2. Increases your clients’ online security

When you’re processing payroll, you’re dealing with important financial and personal data. If your computer was to be stolen or hacked by ransomware, your bureau could be liable for breaching data protection regulations. This can result in costly fines that could potentially damage client relationships, and the reputation of your practice.

Client dashboards increase your GDPR compliance by giving clients more control over their data. This means that any sensitive information, such as reports or payslips, no longer have to be sent by email, reducing the likelihood of a data breach occurring. This also allows employees to access their payslip history themselves via the employee app, eliminating the need for clients to locate and send sensitive files to staff via email. Having the ability to automatically backup your payroll data to the cloud, improves clients’ online security even further.

 

3. Sharing documents online made easy

When your clients are sharing important HR documents with their employees, such as contracts of employment, or sharing reports with senior management, there’s a chance of these documents getting lost – or worse – getting sent to the wrong person.

Having all of these documents in one centralised hub makes it easy to share documents with multiple employees at the same time, no matter if they’re located in the office or working remotely. It also reduces the likelihood of unauthorised people accessing them. Customising access to specific documents, as well as viewing who has and who hasn’t read each document, is all available through the client dashboard. This streamlines many HR processes for clients, as well as supporting their long-term hybrid working models.

 

4. Gives clients’ employees a more interactive online working experience

When using the employee app, employees have a much more immersive and interactive online working experience. Between accessing their payslips, reading important documents and updating personal details (i.e. address and contact details) at the tap of a button. It also reduces your clients’ admin work and paper road in the long run.

 

5. Makes annual leave a breeze for both clients and employees

Whether your client has 10 or 10,000 employees, managing annual leave can be overwhelming, especially coming into the summer months. Having an online, user-friendly tool for annual leave is the key to building a sustainable hybrid working model. BrightPay Connect’s client dashboard gives your clients the ability to view all of their employees’ annual leave through an easy-to-use calendar format where they can simply approve/deny these requests. Employees can also benefit with the ability to submit annual leave requests on the go through the employee app.

Visit the BrightPay Connect client hub which contains information on the benefits of BrightPay Connect. The page can be sent to clients as a way of educating them on BrightPay Connect, as well as giving them helpful information on how to get started using the online platform.

Employee paid sick leave: What you need to know

Employee paid sick leave: What you need to know

As of the 20th of July 2022, the Sick Leave Bill 2022 became law. Once the law is commenced, all Irish workers are entitled to paid sick leave. It will be introduced to all workplaces across Ireland and will be phased in over four stages, over the next four years.

Unlike most of Europe, before this Bill was enacted, Ireland had no statutory paid sick leave scheme. This new law now aligns us more with the European standard of paid sick leave.

How much leave are employees entitled to?

Once the law is commenced, employees are now entitled to a maximum of 3 paid sick days per year and will be paid 70% of their normal wage for each paid sick day taken. This payment will be made by their employers, with a maximum limit of €110 to be paid per sick day taken.

The government’s plan is to increase the number of sick days covered to a maximum of five days in 2024, seven days in 2025, and 10 days in 2026.

Which employees are entitled to sick pay?

To qualify for paid sick leave, an employee must:

  • Be working for their employer for a minimum of 13 weeks.
  • Provide a medical certificate from their GP to prove they are or were unable to work.

Is there anything else I should know about the paid Sick Leave scheme?

Annual leave and paid sick leave

It’s important to note that sick leave days cannot count towards an employees’ annual leave, once they meet the Sick Pay scheme requirements. However, if an employee is out of work due to long-term illness, they can carry over the annual leave days they’ve missed due to their illness, for up to a maximum of 15 months.

Public holidays and sick leave

If a full-time employee gets sick during a public holiday, they are entitled to receive sick pay for the public holiday that they’ve missed, or they may be paid for the day as normal. Part-time employees are also entitled to benefit for a public holiday they were on sick leave for, once they’ve worked at least 40 hours over the previous five weeks.

Employees not provided with a paid sick leave scheme

If an employee qualifies for paid sick leave and their employer doesn’t provide a Sick Pay scheme, they have the right to file a complaint to the Workplace Relations Commission. For further information, visit Citizens Information website.

Once the law has commenced, your payroll software should be updated to cater for this new employee entitlement. Here at BrightPay, we work hard in the background to provide you with the latest payroll news and legislative updates. Sign up to our weekly newsletter to stay in the loop. New to BrightPay?

How the cloud can improve your business’ security

 

When you process payroll, sensitive employee data can be at risk of becoming lost or damaged. All it takes is one accidental download or a mistyped email address to expose this data to the wrong person.

That’s why cloud payroll solutions are at the forefront of payroll security nowadays. Utilising the cloud in your payroll process means that you can ensure your payroll data is safe. Depending on what payroll software provider you’re using, features can vary across the board. Below, we’ve put together our top three features that we believe cloud payroll solutions should offer, to ensure the complete security of your employees’ payroll data.

 

1. Automatic backups

Manually backing up your payroll data to an external hard drive or third-party file hosting service can be time-consuming, tedious, and not as secure as you might think. You should be able to backup your payroll data automatically to the cloud, as you use the software. This ensures that, should your computer crash or be stolen, you won’t lose any important data.

Another factor to consider is are these backups being stored on your desktop, or are they being stored on a secure online platform? It is recommended that you store a chronological history of your backups in a secure online location, which keeps your employees’ data safe from harm’s way. This prevents unnecessary panic down the road, should disaster strike, as you know that you can retrieve and download a previous version of your payroll information, at any time.

 

2. Employer and employee online portals

Have you ever sent a payslip to the wrong employee, or mismanaged annual leave requests? These everyday problems can now be easily resolved with employer and employee portals. Not only are they a great way to increase the security of your payroll data, they also improve your GDPR compliance, as well as your employees’ job satisfaction.

BrightPay’s employer dashboard for example, allows you to view employees’ payslips, upload important HR documents, manage annual leave requests and view any payments that are due to Revenue, all from one secure location. For further information on what BrightPay’s employer dashboard can offer you, please watch this short one-minute video.

BrightPay’s employee app also provides many security benefits, such as allowing employees to update their personal details from anywhere, at any time. Employees can also easily access an archive of all their payslips from the app, readily available to view, print and download. This gives the employee more control over their personal information from a secure online location, which is in line with GDPR best practices.

 

3. Two-factor authentication

Did you know that Ireland had the highest increase in cyberattacks in Europe last year? That’s why it’s more important than ever before to have extra security measures, such as two-factor authentication, when accessing sensitive data. Two-factor authentication is usually done through phone, email or an authenticator app and involves a code being sent to the user which they will need to input to gain access to the application. This provides an added layer of security, verifying that only those who are authorised to do so, are accessing, and viewing payroll data.

 

Where can I learn more about the benefits of cloud payroll tools?

BrightPay’s payroll cloud-extension, BrightPay Connect, offers all of the these features mentioned above, along with many other benefits that can enhance your business, whether you have one or 10,000 employees. BrightPay is a leading Irish payroll software for employers and we work hard to provide the most up-to-date and innovative solutions in payroll software, regularly hosting webinars and creating guides on the latest payroll features.

5 reasons to choose Surf Accounts Production

When it comes to creating financial statements to submit to the CRO, you need to ensure they are compliant. If your accounts fail to comply with the requirements, they will be rejected by the CRO. To make sure you meet the requirements whilst working efficiently, you should use an accounts production software which is easy-to-use, saves you time, and can improve the accuracy of your service. Surf Accounts Production is the software which can do all this, and more.

Here are 5 reasons you should choose Surf Accounts Production:

 

1. Cloud-based

As a cloud accounts production software, Surf can provide you with many benefits, such as the ability to work remotely. As it is cloud based, you can access, edit and share data via the internet, meaning you no longer have to rely on physical servers and hard drives. The cloud is also extremely secure, thanks to its use of encryption, so you can rest assured your data is protected. By using a cloud-based software, you can do all the work you could in the office, from anywhere with an internet connection.

 

2. Compliance

Surf Accounts Production is the number one software on the market when it comes to compliance. This is due to a number of reasons:

  • We have a dedicated compliance team in place, who’s sole responsibility is to ensure that the accounts you create are compliant with all legislation.
  • All the formats we provide are FRS 102 Section 1A and FRS 105 compliant, while dual jurisdiction ROI/UK and NI compliant versions are available.
  • All compliance updates are done automatically, in the background. This means you don’t have to waste time sitting through system installations or system re-starts.
  • Surf Accounts Production has been designed to allow you to edit financial statements 'on the fly,'. Once you've produced the accounts, you can make revisions without ever having to leave the document. To see how our ‘on the fly compliance function works, click here.

 

3. Tailored entity types

Surf Accounts Production offers 9 entity types for creating financial statements, which is more than any other accounts production software on the market. Our development team are also working on adding to these in the future. In comparison, some accounts production software providers offer a single financial statement template, which then must be manually edited to suit the client’s needs. With Surf, you can reduce the time you spend editing templates as you simply select the client’s entity type upon creation.

The financial statement formats which Surf Accounts Production currently provide are:

  • Company
  • Schools
  • Sole Trader
  • Farmer
  • Credit Union
  • Industrial & Provident Societies
  • Club
  • LLP
  • Partnership

Surf Accounts Production’s electronic signature feature became the first of its kind in the accounts production software market. Our partnership with HelloSign allows you to request e-signatures for a range of different documents, track the status of the signature, and download the fully signed version to your PC. By allowing clients to sign documents digitally, you can send documents in seconds, complete tasks faster, and reduce costs associated with travel or having documents couriered.

 

5. Integration with Surf Accounts (and BrightPay)

Surf Accounts Production has direct API integration with our bookkeeping extension, Surf Accounts. This integration allows you to conduct all your year-end and bookkeeping work from the one platform, eliminating the need to switch between your accounts production and bookkeeping software.

Additionally, Surf Accounts has API integration with BrightPay Payroll Software, allowing you to seamlessly upload your payroll journals from BrightPay into the accounting software, which can be accessed by Surf Accounts Production users who also hold a bookkeeping licence.

 

Ultimately, Surf Accounts Production is packed full of accounts production features which can make creating financial statements a breeze. With time saving features such as automatic compliance, tailored entity types and electronic signatures, you can better allocate your time to improve your productivity.

Living wage to replace minimum wage in Ireland by 2026

It was announced in June that the National Minimum Wage will be replaced by a living wage in 2026. The minimum wage rate will increase between now and 2026, closing the gap between the minimum and the new living wage.

Living wage to replace minimum wage in Ireland by 2026

It was announced this week that a new living wage, to replace the current minimum wage, is to be phased in for Irish workers, starting in 2023. A living wage is an hourly rate of pay calculated to be the minimum amount that a worker needs to earn to cover the basic cost of living.

The memo which Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Leo Varadkar has brought to Cabinet proposes that the living wage is to be set at 60% of the median wage in a given year. Based on this percentage, if the living wage rate were introduced today, it would be set at €12.17 per hour.

 

Minimum wage in Ireland

The National Minimum Wage was first introduced in Ireland in April 2000 and was also roughly 60% of the median wage at the time. The minimum wage has increased by around 47% since it was first introduced, but it has not kept up with the average earnings or the cost of living.

Since 1st January 2022, the National Minimum Wage is €10.50 per hour for those aged 20 and over.

Rates for other workers are as follows:

Age group Minimum hourly rate of pay % of minimum wage
Aged 19 €9.45 90%
Aged 18 €8.40 80%
Aged under 18 €7.35 70%

 

What does the living wage mean for employers?

The national minimum wage will remain in place until the living wage rate is fully phased in, in 2026. The minimum wage rate will increase between now and 2026, closing the gap between the minimum and the living wage. However, the full living wage may be introduced faster or slower than the proposed time frame, depending on prevailing economic circumstances. The Tánaiste has said that the reason the living wage is being introduced gradually is because if it is brought in too quickly businesses could close, or employees could see their hours cut. Leo Varadkar will consult with various interested parties, including employer and worker representative groups, unions and the public on the draft plan.

The living wage is just one of the improvements to workers' rights to be introduced over the coming years. Other changes we are set to see for employees is the introduction of statutory sick pay and automatic enrolment onto pension schemes.

Maximise efficiency and reduce errors when making payments

Automating your workflow in 2022 is the key to a successful business. The process of manually entering data is long gone, as automating tasks allows you to save time and reduce the number of repetitive tasks you manage.

BrightPay Payroll Software is now integrated with payment platform, Modulr, to provide a faster, easier and more reliable way to pay employees. The integration has created a more seamless way of paying your employees, saving you time for other tasks.

The importance of automating your payroll

Traditionally, employee payments are a time-consuming task that can cause major headaches for employers, when not done correctly. It can turn into an arduous process, especially when errors are made. As well as the time delays, when employees haven't been paid correctly or on time, it can damage employee morale. Errors that can occur when paying employees include:

  • Double entry or incorrect input of figures
  • Duplication of figures
  • Forgetting to add overtime, statutory leave pay etc.

At BrightPay, we want to make our customers' payroll journey as easy as possible. BrightPay’s integration with payment platform, Modulr, has taken away the manual data entry workload associated with making payments to employees, and eliminates the need to create bank files.

What is Modulr?

Modulr is a payment platform integrated into your payroll software and is a faster, easier and more reliable way to pay employees. Modulr offers a safe and reliable way of paying your employees as it has built in multi-factor authentication, meaning you must confirm your identity through an app on your mobile.

The integration allows employees to be paid on the same day when payments have been authorised on a business day before 2pm. This helps reduce payment errors as it gives you the opportunity to make any last-minute changes to the payroll, such as adding overtime pay.

How to pay employees using Modulr

  1. Once you’ve finalised your employees' payslips through BrightPay, simply click the “Pay” tab and on the drop-down menu click the “Modulr” button.
  2. On the next screen, simply click “continue”.
  3. When asked, enter your Modulr username and password and click “Sign in to Modulr”. If you do not have a Modulr account set up, you can simply sign up here.
  4. Once you’re signed into Modulr, you will be asked to authenticate your account using authentication app, Authy. For this to be successful, you will need to have the Authy app installed on your mobile device.
  5. Once prompted, follow the instructions on your screen.
  6. When you are signed into the Authy app, a match attempt will be made to your Modulr account using your employer registration number entered into your BrightPay employer file. Once both accounts have synchronized, your customer name will be displayed. If you’ve been given more than one customer name, simply click the one that is most applicable to you.
  7. If your employee's payment method has been set to credit transfer, it will be displayed for review and will be asked to put in the following details:
    • Pay from account – select the account you wish to make payment from
    • Payment date – choose your payment date
    • Payee – review the list of payees, and de-select any who are not included in this pay period
    • IBAN – Make sure the correct bank details are logged
    • Reference – enter a reference if you wish
    • Amount – this reflects the payment amount for each of your employees
  8. When ready, click “continue”.
  9. A summary of your payment request will be displayed on screen for review. When ready to submit your payment request, simply click “Send to Modulr”. One last request will be sent to your mobile device via the Authy authentication app.
  10. Once successful, confirmation of your payment request will be displayed via Modulr for final approval.

Although there are several steps to get your Modulr account set up and activated, once set up, it is an efficient way to pay your employees. As mentioned, employees can be paid on the same day, when payments have been processed on a business day before 2 pm. Otherwise, they will be paid on the next business day. Thanks to the integration, you can maximise efficiency while allowing you to process your employees payments with ease. Book a free demo of BrightPay today to learn more.
