Importing Employees via FPS file

To Import into BrightPay using an FPS file firstly locate your FPS file. Open BrightPay and 'Create New Employer' Select how you wish to use BrightPay, if you wish to import employee information at the start of the tax year, select 'Start at Beginning of the Tax Year'. This will ensure that no year-to-date amounts will be imported into BrightPay, in the event you are using a previous year's FPS for example. If you have already processed payroll in your previous software for the current tax year and wish to import year-to-date pay amounts as well as your employee information, select 'Continue Partway in the Tax Year'.

Complete each screen accordingly with your relevant employer information. Once you have entered and saved your employer information, go to 'File > Import/Export Data > Import Employees from an FPS File... ' Browse to the location of your FPS file, select it and press 'Open'. Employee information contained within the FPS selected will now be displayed on screen. Review your employee information to ensure that the correct FPS has been selected. Should you not wish to import an employee, simply untick their name. When ready press OK to complete the import, Employees will now be imported into BrightPay.
