Note: If you are getting an error or the file is failing to upload onto BrightPay Cloud, check in the desktop file if there is an employer logo in the Employer section. If so, remove the logo, save changes, close the file and try to import again. You can add the logo back into the employer on Cloud under the Employer section.
