BrightPay Connect is powered using the latest web technologies and hosted on Microsoft Azure for ultimate performance, reliability and scalability. BrightPay Connect maintains a chronological history of all backups which can be restored or downloaded anytime, keeping client payroll records safely stored.

24/7 Online Access

BrightPay Connect allows mobile and online access to payroll data anytime and anywhere for both employers and employees. This fulfils the GDPR best practice recommendation to provide remote access to a secure system where individuals have direct access to their personal payroll data. For payroll bureaus, the cloud flexibility enables a superior client collaboration and gives instant value to your client relationships.

Integration with Payroll

BrightPay Connect is fully integrated with BrightPay payroll. Changes to employee contact details, employee payslips and payroll reports can be easily updated between both the payroll software and BrightPay Connect.

HR & Annual Leave Management

Employers can view all upcoming leave in the company-wide calendar. Employers or HR managers can easily authorise leave requests with changes automatically flowing back to the payroll software. Employers can upload sensitive HR documents such as contracts of employment, with the ability to restrict certain users from accessing confidential information.

Bureau Timesheet Upload

For bureaus, payroll clients can enter their employees’ hours and payment information offering an additional layer of GDPR protection for your clients’ payroll information. Once the timesheet hours are added or imported they can be automatically synchronized to the employer file ready for processing. Bureaus can then securely send back to the client for approval through BrightPay Connect. This automation will eliminate the email and document exchange providing a more secure and accurate recording of the timesheets and hours.
