Brain Payroll provides payroll solutions for payroll processing, recurring tasks, reporting and system integrations. Explore its capabilities and book a demo to assess whether they meet your organisation’s requirements.
The right payroll solutions depend on your current processes, the tasks you need to manage and the systems your team uses.
Brain Payroll offers capabilities across these areas, helping you assess which functions align with your operational requirements.
Payroll teams may need to import employee information and update records before processing payroll.
Brain Payroll supports CSV and FPS imports, bulk updates to employee and salary records, and gross-to-net payslip calculations. Saved import templates can retain column mappings for later use. The appropriate method depends on your source data and processing requirements.
Brain Payroll’s Processing Dashboard displays employee, BACS, FPS and payslip counts for the selected company and tax month. Its HMRC submission log records FPS and EPS outcomes, including success or failure, by company and pay date.
These records help payroll teams review processing activity and identify submissions that may need follow-up. A successful submission record does not guarantee overall payroll compliance, and generating a BACS file does not confirm that payment has reached an employee’s bank account.
Brain Payroll’s Paydroid supports scheduled payroll runs, task automation and payslip release by tax period. Its job statuses include Scheduled, In Progress, Warning, Success and Failed, helping users monitor scheduled jobs and identify tasks that may need attention.
These capabilities help payroll teams organise repetitive activities and manage recurring tasks around their payroll calendar. Users can review job statuses to monitor completed processes, track tasks in progress and identify jobs requiring further attention.
Organisations can assess the available scheduling and automation options against their existing payroll processes, responsibilities and configuration requirements.
Brain Payroll documents REST API capabilities and connections involving systems such as Xero, Modulr, NEST, Smart Pension, The People’s Pension, Collegia and Penfold.
Connection methods and available functions vary by system, so confirm that your required workflow is supported before making a decision.
Explore Payroll IntegrationsIf you are reviewing your existing payroll system, consider the data you need to transfer, the records available from your current provider and the checks required before processing continues.
Brain Payroll documents CSV and FPS import capabilities, but importing data is not necessarily the same as completing a full payroll migration. Discuss your source system and implementation requirements with the Brain Payroll team to understand the available options.

Knowledge Base
Choose payroll software that matches your workforce, payroll processes, reporting requirements and existing business systems. Consider how it handles payroll calculations, data validation, exceptions and statutory requirements. UK businesses should also assess HMRC submission capabilities and understand which checks remain their responsibility. Compare providers against your operational needs rather than selecting software based on features alone.
Brain Payroll provides capabilities for payroll processing, employee and salary record updates, reporting, recurring task automation and system integrations. Businesses can assess these capabilities against their existing payroll procedures, workforce structure and reporting needs. Before choosing Brain Payroll, identify any specific workflows or configuration requirements that need confirmation with the team.
Before switching payroll software, review your employee records, year-to-date payroll figures, pension information, payroll history and outstanding adjustments. Confirm which records are available from your existing provider and how transferred data will be validated. Establish who will check the first payroll results and resolve discrepancies before relying on the new system.
Brain Payroll supports CSV and FPS imports, but the appropriate approach depends on your current payroll system and the data available. Before making a change, identify which employee records, year-to-date figures and historical information need to be transferred. Discuss your source system and requirements with the Brain Payroll team to establish whether the available import methods meet your needs.
Prepare an overview of your current payroll process, employee data, pay arrangements, reporting requirements and connected systems. Identify who will supply the information, validate records, resolve discrepancies and approve payroll outputs. Ask your chosen provider to confirm the required data formats, configuration needs and implementation responsibilities before work begins.
Brain Payroll's Processing Dashboard displays counts for employees, BACS, FPS and payslips for the selected company and tax month. Its HMRC submission log records FPS and EPS submission success or failure by company and pay date. These records help users review processing activity and identify items requiring follow-up, but they do not independently establish that all payroll obligations have been met.
Ask the provider how it handles relevant tax calculations, statutory payments, legislative updates, validation checks and HMRC submissions. Establish what evidence is available to review processing and submission activity, and which checks remain your organisation's responsibility. Do not assume that successful submissions or automated calculations guarantee full compliance; assess the product's documented capabilities and your own payroll controls.
Brain Payroll documents REST API capabilities and connections involving systems such as Xero, Modulr, NEST, Smart Pension, The People's Pension, Collegia and Penfold. Available connection methods and functions vary by system. Confirm that your required data flows and workflows are supported, and establish whether any additional configuration or technical work is necessary.
If your organisation manages payroll across multiple companies, assess how the software supports your company structure, payroll responsibilities and reporting requirements. Consider how users review processing activity for individual companies and what information is available for oversight. Confirm that the platform's documented multi-company capabilities match your operational needs before making a decision.

Ask the provider to demonstrate your priority payroll workflows, reporting requirements, exception handling and integration needs.

Ask which capabilities are available for your intended workflow, which require configuration and what questions still need confirmation before you make a decision.
