Best way to do your pay!
Pros
BrightPay makes payroll easy and has a really modern look. I can train clients to use this in no time at all.
Cons
The windows and mac versions of the software differ in a few areas which is a real shame. It looks like this may be addressed soon though!

Intuitive to use, great value, everything you need to run payroll
Pros
This software covers all aspects of payroll including the new pension auto enrolment, expenses and benefits, sickness, maternity all subjects in one easy to use product. I am not a computer buff but this works for me and I can understand it very easily. The price is amazing we have several companies under one umbrella and usually this would cost a great deal more. I like the help from BrightPay which can be found on their website and I have emailed for assistance and this has been a clear quick response both times.
Cons
I haven't found anything that I am not happy about as yet - I did call once over an Irish bank holiday and spoke to a chap I found difficult to understand because of his beautiful soft Irish accent ...

Excellent Payroll Software
Using BrightPay has made running payrolls much easier.
Pros
This software makes running a payroll easy. The interface is very user-friendly and inputting pay figures is a cinch. The software takes the legwork out of running regular payrolls by rolling over figures month-to-month and providing variance indicators
Cons
Setting up employer mid-year can be a little challenging until you understand how to input all the relevant information.
Reasons for Choosing BrightPay
Better interface and simpler to use
