To set up a BACS file, watch the video or follow the steps below. BACS (Bankers' Automated Clearing Services) files are essential for accurate payroll processing, ensuring seamless transmission of payment details. Proper configuration prevents errors and ensures compliance with payroll cycles.
Click Settings, then click Payroll settings.
Click Edit, then turn on the BACS file creation toggle.
Select a bank and enter your bank details.
Click Next.
Select each type of payment you want to include.
For some payment types, such as pension payments, enter bank details and a payment reference. You enter the bank details for attachment of earnings orders (AEOs) and childcare vouchers when setting up the AEO or voucher for the individual team member.
For pension provider and HMRC payments, you can include them in the main BACS, or create a separate BACS for these payments. To generate a distinct BACS file, turn on the toggle for a separate BACS. Then select a payment date.
Click Save.
đNote: Review the list of team members who are missing bank details. If team members donât have bank details saved, they wonât be included in the BACS file, but will appear on a separate manual payments file.
