Updating the CWPS rates in BrightPay:

 

As soon as the 1st October 2019 rate change date is reached in your payroll, BrightPay will automatically uplift any statutory CWPS rates being applied to employee payslips:




Please note: where non-statutory CWPS rates have been entered on an employee's payslip, BrightPay will not uplift these automatically.

Enter the new rates accordingly, followed by 'Save':
