Typical users

Sage 50 Payroll is scalable payroll software that can fit almost any business payroll requirement. You purchase the number of companies and employee count according to your sites requirements. A typical user of Sage 50 payroll would be a site where the payroll staff will collate and enter the timesheets or payment values for the staff and then process the payroll.   The payslips will be produced and checked and then typically the e-banking link will be used to submit the values to the bank. If the site is using Sage 50 or Sage 200 the payment values are automatically updated to the accounts system.

“Sage Payroll meets all of our payroll requirements. We import the timesheets from Sage 200, process them in Sage Payroll and then use e-banking to transmit them to the bank. This saves hours of keying data and ensures the figures are correct every time”
