Importing from IRIS

BrightPay provides a quick and seamless import utility to bring across your company and employee details from IRIS PAYE-Master payroll software. To begin the import, simply click on the ‘Import Employer’ button at the bottom of the ‘Open Employer’ screen and select 'Import from IRIS PAYE-Master...'. Choose from the options 'Start at beginning of tax year' or 'Continue Mid-Year' as required. Browse to the location of your IRIS PAYE-Master company file: The default location to browse to will normally be your Documents folder The file to select will normally be titled '<The Company name> M 11.dta'

Click 'Open' to begin the import process. Once the import process is completed, simply open your new BrightPay company file to commence payroll. Please note: if you selected the option 'Continue Mid-Year', BrightPay will automatically import your employees' midyear totals to date from the IRIS PAYE-Master file selected at time of import. These can be viewed in each employee's 'Mid-Year Totals' within each employee's record. After reviewing your employee information, simply click the 'Payroll' tab to commence processing payroll.
