Is this right for me?

Sage Instant Payroll lets you manage the payroll of up to 10 employees without the need to understand the complexities of payroll legislation. It's designed to help you pay your people quickly, easily and accurately, leaving you time to concentrate on your business.

No experience is required to set up and run Instant Payroll. It automatically calculates payments and deductions including tax, National Insurance, pensions and sick pay - all accredited to HM Revenue & Customs’ payroll standard.  Plus, you can now submit online at Year End, which is a HM Revenue & Customs requirement for 2010.

You can also manage employee information and store employee records, and Sage Instant Payroll can handle up to 10 leavers in a given financial year.

To make life easier, Sage Instant Payroll has a fresh look-and-feel and simplifies key tasks, which are all clearly numbered for you.  You can choose when and how to pay your employees, and print out payslips in a format that suits your stationery format and printer.

You can easily correct mistakes by going back to a previous pay period and running it again if necessary, and choose to start your holiday year whenever you like.

Sage Instant Payroll also comes with Sage HR Advice, as well as SageCover Online free for one year. New RSS feeds also provide up-to-date news and support at a click of a button. See the features & benefits tab for more.

Note: if you have more than 10 employees, need multiple software users or manage more than one company try Sage 50 Payroll.
