In the event that you need to make a subsequent payment to an employee after they have left your employment (for example outstanding holiday pay), a dedicated facility is available within BrightPay to facilitate this.

• Within ‘Payroll’ select the pay period in which you wish to make the payment after leaving.
   
• Click ‘More’ on the menu bar, followed by ‘Add Post-Cessation Payment(s)...’.
  
  
  
  
  
   

• Select the employee or employees in question and click ‘OK’. 

  
  
  
  
   

• Process the employee’s payslip as required and finalise the payslip as normal. 
  
   

The employee and their payment after leaving details will subsequently be included in the relevant payroll submission for submission to Revenue and My Future Fund. This PSR and AECS will also include the employee's original employment ID and original cessation date, in order for Revenue to know this is a post cessation payment.

A payslip for the employee will also be available for printing/emailing/exporting.

FAQs 

Q. Can I mark an employee as having finished on a specific date (for example, 26 January) but then pay them an additional lump sum later (for example, in February) without rehiring them?  

A. Yes. You can do this by using the Post Cessation Payment option.  
To process this payment, go to Payroll,  select More,  and then choose Add Post Cessation Payment(s). From there, you can create a payslip for an employee who has already been marked as a leaver.
