Paying Subcontractors by Credit Transfer & Creating a Bank File

In order to assist the user in paying subcontractors by credit transfer, a dedicated Credit Transfer Payments Report is available in BrightPay.

1) After finalising your subcontractor payments in Payroll, simply select 'Pay > Credit Transfers / Create Bank File...' on the menu toolbar.

All subcontractors whose payment method is set to 'credit transfer' will be displayed on the screen and the report will show the breakdown of the credit transfer payments to these subcontractors.

2) To subsequently print/email/export the Credit Transfer Payments Report, simply click the Print/Export or Email option on the menu toolbar.

Paying Subcontractors using a Bank Payment File

For subcontractors paid by credit transfer, a Bank Payment File can be created to upload through your banking software:

Please note: to be able to use this option, employer bank details must first be entered within the Employer utility and you must have approval from your bank to submit bank payment files to them.
