On the Open Employer screen, simply click the option to 'Set Up New Employer... ' 2. Before getting started, Bright Pay will need a few details about the Employer, for example its name, address and PAYE registration details. Click 'Next' to continue. 3. On this screen you are asked how you would like to use Bright Pay. Once you have selected the option most relevant to your company, click 'Next' to continue. 4. Enter your Employer name and address. The first two lines of the address as well as a valid UK postcode must be entered before you can continue on to the next screen 5. Under TAX/ PAYE, enter your Tax District, Employer PAYE Reference and Accounts Office Reference. The Employer PAYE Reference must consist of a three digit office number as well as a valid reference number. 6. If you qualify for Small Employer's Relief, tick the box provided. Should the Scottish Variable Rate apply simply tick this box. A Payroll Giving Reference can also be entered on this screen, if applicable. 7. Click 'Next' to continue 8. Should you wish to organise your employees into departments, simply enter the departmental names you require in this screen. These departments can subsequently be used in your payroll processing and analysis. More departments can be added at a later date if needed. 9. Alternatively, if you wish to skip this step, simply click on 'Next'. 10. In this screen, you are now asked about your Typical Employee. These settings will be used as the default when adding a new employee, but can be changed on an individual basis if required. 11. Firstly, select the desired default pay frequency from the drop-down menu. Secondly, select the typical pay method -- either a set amount each period or dependent on hours worked. Finally, select the typical working days that your company operates. Click 'Next' to continue 12. To protect your payroll information, a password must be set and will be required to open the employer data file in future. Enter a password of your choice and re-enter to confirm this. Click 'Save and Finish'. 13. The final step is to choose a location to save your employer file to. Employer files should always be kept away from the Bright Pay installation folder, for example by saving them to a separate folder created on your local C drive. 14. Multiple users of Bright Pay who wish to share employer files across a network should ensure that this folder is created on the network so that employer files can be saved here for shared access. The software itself however must be installed and run locally on each individual user PC. 15. When ready, click on 'Save'. Your Employer Details have now been added.
