Improvements & Fixes |

This release brings one significant new reporting capability to BrightPay Cloud, alongside four critical fixes for payroll reports, CSV imports, and payment processing. BrightCIS users benefit from a fix addressing employee department resets. All features and fixes are live immediately from 6 August 2026.
BrightPay Cloud (UK)
Cross Tax Year Reporting
You can now run reports that span multiple tax years in the Analysis section. Select a date range covering more than one tax year, and BrightPay consolidates data across the relevant periods in a single report. This eliminates the need to run separate reports and manually combine results in spreadsheets—particularly valuable for producing year-on-year comparisons, financial year summaries, and audit reports that don't align with the UK tax year boundary. |
Reports now calculate savings scheme totals correctly when departments are selected
When generating payroll reports and filtering by department, savings scheme contribution totals are now calculated accurately. You'll see correct figures regardless of which departments you select in your filter.

Sage 50 CSV imports now accept "-1" format for "no student loan plan"
When importing payroll data from Sage 50, you can now use the "-1" value to indicate "no student loan plan" in your CSV files. Imports that previously returned errors now process correctly, bringing BrightPay Cloud into line with your Sage exports.

Incorrect bank details no longer prevent Pay by Bank setup
If you registered the wrong bank variant (e.g. Barclays Business instead of Barclays Corporate) during Pay by Bank registration, you can now correct this without encountering verification errors. You can register a new account with the correct bank details, and the setup will complete successfully.

Pay by Bank setup status error resolved
An intermittent error ("Pay by Bank setup status could not be verified") that appeared when setting up Crezco payments has been fixed. You can now proceed with payment registration without encountering this message.

Payment status now updates correctly after processing
Payment statuses in BrightPay Cloud were occasionally remaining in "in progress" even after Crezco had processed them. The system now correctly tracks and displays payment statuses as "processed" once payment processing is complete, giving you an accurate view of your payment history.

Employee departments now persist across pay periods
In BrightCIS, employee department assignments were resetting to their original value at the start of each new pay week. Department changes now remain in effect across pay periods until you explicitly change them again, removing the need for manual re-entry every week.
