BrightPay provides several features and tools to help you thoroughly review your payroll before submitting it to Revenue, ensuring accuracy and compliance, one of which is the payroll preview. 

Payroll Preview and Period Summary

BrightPay allows you to preview the payroll for the current period before finalising. The Period Summary/Payroll Preview screen displays a breakdown of each employee’s pay, deductions (PAYE, USC, PRSI), and net pay, so you can check for errors or anomalies before submission.

To review your payroll before submitting to Revenue, use the Period Summary Report found in the Payroll section.

Select the pay period you wish to review. You can add / remove columns that you wish to include or exclude from the report by going to 'More' > 'Choose Period Summary Columns'

Select the fields required on the report and how the report should be sorted, ie by Employee, Department, etc. Then 'Save'

Then click on 'More' > 'Email/Download PDF Period Summary'

The data displayed on the Payroll tab will now be in a format that can be printed, downloaded or emailed for review / approval:

Note: This report can be run both prior to, and after finalising the payslips.
