PAYE Modernisation has introduced two new processes - the automated retrieval of Revenue Payroll Notifications for each of your employees from Revenue and the submission of your payroll data each payroll run to Revenue.

For this two-way communication to take place between BrightPay and Revenue’s systems, your ROS digital certificate will be used.

Therefore, the payroll software that you run your payroll from will need to have your ROS Digital Certificate added to it.

As a test, if you are currently able to log into ROS from that computer, then your digital certificate is already in place and can subsequently be added into BrightPay:

• If you hold an employer certificate, please refer to article 'Adding a Revenue Digital Certificate - Employers' for more guidance on how you can add your digital certificate into the BrightPay software 
   
• If you hold an agent digital certificate, please refer to article 'Adding a Revenue Digital Certificate - Agents' for more guidance on how you can add your digital certificate into the BrightPay software 

In the event that your digital certificate is not on the same machine as your payroll software, please refer to article 'Transferring a ROS Digital Certificate from one computer to another' for more guidance on how you can move your certificate from one machine to another.
