To import a company and its employees using a Revenue P2C file, select Import > Import from Revenue P2C File at the bottom of the 'Open Employer' screen.
BrightPay 2016 will now commence setting up the employer data file from the information within the P2C.
Where in the tax year are you starting to use Bright Pay 2016?
Three options are available:
a) Start at the Beginning of the Tax Year - select this option if you are starting at the beginning of the tax year
b) Start Partway in the Tax Year - select this option if you are starting payroll partway through a tax year, with no previous payroll records in the same tax year
c) Continue Partway in the Tax Year - select this option if you already have payroll records for the tax year up to this point, and wish to continue where you have left off. Selecting this option will allow you to enter year to date figures for each employee which must be completed before finalising any payslips within BrightPay.
Select the applicable option to your particular stage of commencing using BrightPay for 2016. Select Next

Password
It is important to set a password on your payroll data file for security due to the sensitivity of the employee information. A password is optional and you may decide not to assign a password if you wish.
Where will your Employer Data file reside
You will now be asked where you would like to save your employer data file. Select a location of your choice and click Save.
Your employer and employee details have now been set up.
Please note: due to basic employee information contained within a P2C, it is recommended that any employee record set up in this manner is then reviewed within Employees following the import. This will allow the user to manually enter additional employee information not contained in the P2C file e.g. marital status, contact information, rates of pay etc.
Likewise, additional employer information (e.g. pension schemes, employer bank accounts etc) can be manually entered within Employer.
