Importing from BrightPay 2014

On completing the installation of BrightPay 2015 a new separate icon will be created on your desktop to access the 2015 payroll software program.

BrightPay 2015 is installed separately to BrightPay 2014. If you used BrightPay 2014 you will need to instruct BrightPay 2015 to import your employer data files and all associated employee data records from 2014 into 2015.

All employee data records will be reset for the start of the new tax year and all associated 2015 budgetary changes will be applied as per Revenue instruction.

It is important that on completion of setting up all employer data files for 2015 that you import your 2015 P2C file prior to finalising and 2015 payslips.
