BrightPay facilitates the importing of employee information in CSV format from Moneysoft.

If you are migrating to BrightPay, both employee and their mid-year pay information (if applicable) can be imported from Moneysoft into BrightPay Cloud using this import option.

Importing into BrightPay

Please log in to BrightPay with your Bright ID. If you have already purchased BrightPay or another Bright product or used BrightPay Connect, you will already have a Bright ID.

If you do not have a Bright ID please click Sign up for a Bright ID and follow the steps. 

As a new user, when you log into BrightPay, on the Welcome to BrightPay you will have a step-by-step guide on how to set up your information.

Step 1 - You will need to set up an Organisation. For assistance on setting up your organisation please see here.

Step 2 - Click Create or Import an employer - For assistance on setting up your employer, please see our step-by-step guide.

Step 3 - Open the employer in order to import your employee and pay information into BrightPay.

In order to export your data from Moneysoft to CSV file(s) please:

1a) First, export your CSV file containing your employee and their year-to-date pay information from within your Moneysoft software.

Within Moneysoft, go to 'Tools > Export Data > Export Employee Data to a CSV file':

1b) You will now be given three options. Select 'Everything' and click 'OK':

1c) Select a location to save your CSV file to and press 'Save'.

 

Important note: once the CSV file is created, do not open this, as Excel will format items such as sort code and account numbers and they may no longer be importable into BrightPay.

2. To import the file, go to the Employees tab> Import & Export> Import/Update Employees from CSV File

3. Browse to the location of your CSV file, select it and press ‘Open’

4. Employee information contained within the CSV selected will now be displayed on screen.

You will need to match the headers to the applicable columns to ensure that the data is being imported into the correct fields.

Please note: should you have employee CSV files to import for more than one company from Moneysoft, simply instruct BrightPay to 'Remember Columns'. BrightPay will subsequently remember the column selection used in the previous import when next importing a new employee CSV file.

Alternatively, should you wish to reset your column selection, select 'Reset All Columns'.

5. When ready, press Import.

Employees and their mid-year totals to date (if applicable) will now be imported into BrightPay

Note:

This import option will only bring across employee information that is contained within the CSV file in question. 
 
Further manual entry may thus be required in each employee record for employee information that is not included in the CSV File.

Following the import, further employee information can be manually entered within 'Employees', if required. Alternatively, you may wish to update missing employee information from an additional CSV file, for more details, click here Updating Existing Employee Details from a CSV File

Migration Checklist Cloud may assist you with the migration process and setup. 

It is also recommended that all employee details are reviewed before processing any payroll to ensure information imported in is correct and applicable for the tax year in question.

 
After reviewing your employee and employer information, simply click the 'Payroll' tab to commence processing payroll.
