Importing from Moneysoft - direct import (mid year)

BrightPay provides a quick and seamless import utility to bring across your company and employee details from Moneysoft mid tax year.

Please note: this import utility will import basic employer, employee and subcontractor information.

  • To begin the import, simply click on the ‘Import Employer’ button at the bottom of the ‘Open Employer’ screen and select 'Import from Moneysoft > Continue 2021/22 Mid Year...'



 

 

  • Read the message carefully and press Continue

  • Browse to the location of your Moneysoft company file. The default location is typically 'My Documents > Payroll'.
