#Bank file (SEPA)

The bank file pays every employee's net pay in one upload: a SEPA Credit Transfer file (pain.001.001.03, category Salary) that every Irish bank's business banking accepts.

#Before you start

• Finalise the period. The bank file is always made from finalised results.
• Each employee paid by bank transfer needs an IBAN on their record. Employees with Paid by: Another way are left out.

#Make the file

1. On the Payroll page, choose Bank file · Week … (or Bank on a period's row in Reports).
2. Check Pay from IBAN (1), the employer's account the wages are paid from. It is filled in from Employer settings. BIC (optional) is worked out from an Irish IBAN.
3. Check the line at the top: number of payments, total and pay date.
4. Choose Save bank file (2).

The file is saved as pay date, period SEPA.xml in Documents → Payroll Manager Reports → employer, and the folder opens.

#Upload it

Upload the file in your bank's business banking (for example under Payments → Upload payment file or Bulk payments) and approve it there. The payments are dated for the pay date. Payroll Manager never connects to your bank.
