Making payments via BlinkPay is one of the ways you can pay your employees with PayHero. Learn more about paying via BlinkPay below, or for more information on the options available, see our article: How do I pay my employees?
Paying via BlinkPay provides a fast and convenient way to pay your staff. With BlinkPay active, a single payment from your account to FlexiTime will be generated. We will then pay your employees (and any other payees) via an online account-to-account transaction.
Activating Payments via BlinkPay
To start making payments with BlinkPay, you'll need to connect PayHero with BlinkPay. You can do so from within PayHero, under Manage > Integrations. You'll also need to ensure you've selected BlinkPay as your preferred payment method under Manage > Settings > Payroll Settings.
You can learn more about setting up the BlinkPay Integration and find answers to commonly asked questions here: BlinkPay Integration
Paying Wages
After Processing a Pay Run, you'll be prompted with a pop-up screen to complete the BlinkPay payment process. When you're ready to proceed with making your payment, click Send Pay.
Until you click the Send Pay button, you can cancel the BlinkPay payment process at any time if you change your mind. If a pay is 'Marked as Sent', you can restart the BlinkPay payment from the Payroll > Sent section later.
Alternatively, if you'd prefer not to use BlinkPay at all for a particular pay run, you could instead use the bank batch files if you'd prefer. You can learn more about this functionality in PayHero through our support article: Making Payments with Bank Batch Files.
Paying Tax
Tax payments must be included at the time of processing the pay. PayHero will pass these payments on to IRD by the due date (20th of the following month).
