Importing Employees - List of Employee Data that can be Imported into BrightPay

Payroll software providers can often differ slightly on the terminology they use within their software - for example, what is known as 'works number' in BrightPay may be known as 'employee number' in another payroll software.

Before performing a CSV import into BrightPay, it is therefore recommended to familiarise yourself with the names of the BrightPay fields below and to find its equivalent in your existing software, if different. This will assist at the import stage, when matching columns to the data it represents.
