Batch finalise currently open pay period


The ‘finalise currently open pay period’ option gives users the ability to finalise the first available pay period with at least one open payslip for each employer.

a) To access the batch operation, open BrightPay and select  > Browse Employers > 'Batch'.

 

b) To batch finalise all currently open pay periods, select this option from the 'Finalise Currently Opened pay Period' drop down menu.


c) BrightPay will list all employer files with pay periods available to finalise. Click the box next to the 'Select All' heading to select all employers instantly or click 'Select by Tag' to select employers by a colour label. Alternatively, manually select the various employers you wish to include in the batch operation.


d) Click 'Start' to finalise the pay period for all selected employers.

 

Please note: a payroll will not be finalised if an applicable payslip is flagged for attention, for example, an automatic enrolment alert.
