Introduction to BrightCIS

BrightCIS has been designed to create a unique and superior user interface coupled with maximum flexibility in the software functionality, in order to deliver the best CIS solution to customers and to meet the business needs of all contractors.

There is a limit of 1,000 subcontractors for each contractor in BrightCIS.

As you work with BrightCIS, there are some underlying points which are key to the flexibility and superior level of functionality of the program.

This includes:

Independent Subcontractor Records

Each subcontractor record works independently. This means that you can move to the next tax period forward, roll it back, build a report as opposed to executing these functions for all subcontractors.

This flexibility is facilitated through a subcontractor filter option allowing the user to choose, from the listing of subcontractor records on file, which subcontractor each function is to be performed.

Report Writer

The Analysis function within BrightCIS allows the user to run the default reports or to amend them. Within this reporting function the user can build a report template which can be named and saved by the user to use at any time for any tax periods/range of tax periods.

All reports can be customised and/or filtered to suit your reporting requirements, including /excluding tax periods, payment items and/or subcontractors.

Pay Frequencies

Tax monthly or tax weekly frequencies are catered for within BrightCIS. Both pay frequencies can be run simultaneously within the one Contractor.

Departmental Payroll

A subcontractor can be associated with unlimited departments. A subcontractor’s payments, including regular pay, additions and deductions, can be assigned to multiple departments being distributed by weighting.

Customisable Hourly Rates of Pay

Unlimited hourly rates can be set up as defined by the users.

Unlimited Pay Items

A subcontractor’s payment and deduction statement, for any period, can have unlimited pay items, hourly rates, additions and deductions associated and listed against the payment statement.

Program Symbols

Throughout BrightCIS a number of symbols are used to identify added functionality. Below is an overview of some of these symbols;
